Chapter 25: Metabolism and Energetics Flashcards
(47 cards)
Breaks chemical bonds, breaks molecules down into smaller molecules, and releases energy stored as chemical bonds
Catabolism
Formation of bonds, builds nutrient molecules into largeer compounds needed by the body, and energy usually takes form of ATP.
Anabolism
Loss of electrons. Removal of hydrogens.
Oxidation
Gain of electrons. Gain of hydrogens.
Reduction
Carbohydrates are composed of ______,______,________
Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
In carbohydrate metabolism, glucose enters the cell by _________ diffusion , and is then phosphorylated , thus preventing it from leaving the cell
facilitated
Series of 10 reactions which break down glucose down into two 3 carbon molecules.
Glycolysis
Glycolosis occurs in ________, doesn’t require oxygen, and electrons are removed from glucose.
cytoplasm
Glycolysis requires 2 ATP, converts glucose into ________, and produces 2 ATP and 2 NADH.
pyruvate
Function of the Kreb’s cycle
To remove hydrogen atoms from organic molecules and transfer them to coenzymes.
Steps in Kreb’s Cycle
Acetyl Coa combines with oxaloacetate
Citic acid goes through a series of reactions
Electrons are removed in 4 steps
ATP is produced
Occurs in mitochondrion, takes electrons away from carriers and gives them to a series of electron carriers, involves oxidative phosphrylation.
Electron Transport System
The final yield of ATP from 1 molecule of glucose is ___
36
Occurs as long as there are free NAD to give electrons to glycolysis, electrons are given back to pyruvate, this forms lactic acid in humans.
Anaerobic metabolism
For every NADH that gives electrons to ETS, ___ ATP are formed
3
For every FADH that gives electrons, ___ ATP are formed.
2`
Formation of new glucose molecules, ,ade from amino acids, lactic acid, and glycerol.
Primarily on liver and occurs in response to fasting, starvation, very low carb intake or endocrine disorder.
Gluconeogenesis
Formation of glycogen from glucose, in liver and skeletal muscles.
Glycogenesis
Breakdown of glycogen to form glucose
Glycogenolysis
Most of the body’s reserves are stored in the form of ________.
Triglycerides
Beta oxidation is a sequence of reactions in which fatty acid molecules are broken down into two-carbon acetic fragments, and ___and NAD are reduced.
FAD
The synthesis of lipids. Can convert anything into fat.
Lipogenesis
_______ are hydrophobic and require transport molecule.
Lipids
_____ are a complex with proteins.
Lipoproteins
