Q

differentiation between catabolism and anabolism

A

catabolism is the breakdown of large molecules inot smaller one (generates energy)
anabolism is the synthesis of largener molecules from smaller ones (release energy)

Q

initial phase of glycolysis requires the ——- of ATP (overall 2)

17
Q

how many ATP is produced in glycolysis

18
Q

what is the net of ATP in glycolysis

19
Q

End product of glycolysis

A

Pyruvate in cytosol

20
Q

pyruvate Insert into mitochondria
to form

21
Q

Characteristics reactions in TCA

22
Q

TCA _pool of what?

A

Harvest electrons from compounds , as well as H+
(pool of both)

23
Q

What is the protons in intermembrane space Used for and who use it

A

to produce ATP and by the enzyme called ATP-Syntase

24
Q

Between Aerobic glycolysis and anaerobic glycolysis which one produce more ATP

A

Aerobic glycolysis

25
what are the 3 ketones bodies that are oxidized from acetyl-coa
acetoacetate beta hydroxybutyrate acetone
26
what could ketogenesis provide for your body when glucose is not available
alternative fuel source for the brain
27
define lipolysis
breakdown of triglycerides to glycerol and fatty acids
28
what is the process where fatty acids are oxidized
beta oxidation
29
what are the two main process of beta oxidation
CoA activates fatty acid (needs energy) and two carbons are split from the chain to make acetyl CoA
30
what happens to the acetyl CoA after beta oxidation?
it ents TCA
31
what are the process used to store excess energy
Gluconeogenesis Lipogenesis
32
process to use stored energy during fasting
lipolysis
33
what are the hormones that regulate the energy storage
Insulin Glucagon Epinephrine
34
diseases caused by erros of metabolism
Phenylketonuria (PKU) Maple syrup urine disease
