Chapter 15: Energy metabolism Flashcards
(34 cards)
keto diet
An alternative fuel source formed from fatty acids based on carbohydrate restriction
Metabolism
All the life-sustaining chemical reactions that occur in living organisms
primary fuel sources
glucose and fatty acids
enzyme
Biological molecules (protein) that speed up a chemical reaction
Coenzymes
Organic molecules that must be present for an enzyme to catalyze a chemical reaction
eg. vitamins
differentiation between catabolism and anabolism
catabolism is the breakdown of large molecules inot smaller one (generates energy)
anabolism is the synthesis of largener molecules from smaller ones (release energy)
adenosine triphosphate is defined as
cell energy currency
cell
Smallest Functional Unit of Living Organisms
four types of tissue type
connective
epithelial
muscle
nervous
what is cellular respiration
process by which the energy stored in fuels (food) is transferred to ATP by a series of enzyme-catalyzed reactions
what are the three ways energy is released and used to produce atp
glycolysis
the citric acid cycle
electron transport chain (ETC)
glycolysis
Breakdown of glucose in the cytosol
the citric acid cycle
Oxidative pathway in the mitochondria that completes the oxidation of metabolic fuels
The electron transport chain (ETC)
Pathway in which a series of electron carriers transfer electrons from one carrier to another
NAD and FAD are — since it binds to enzymes for optimal reaction
coenzymes
initial phase of glycolysis requires the ——- of ATP (overall 2)
breakdown
how many ATP is produced in glycolysis
4
what is the net of ATP in glycolysis
2
End product of glycolysis
Pyruvate in cytosol
pyruvate Insert into mitochondria
to form
Acetyl CoA
Characteristics reactions in TCA
Redox
TCA _pool of what?
Harvest electrons from compounds , as well as H+
(pool of both)
What is the protons in intermembrane space Used for and who use it
to produce ATP and by the enzyme called ATP-Syntase
Between Aerobic glycolysis and anaerobic glycolysis which one produce more ATP
Aerobic glycolysis
