Chapter 6 pdf 18 Flashcards
What is the energy in the cells?
ATP
What molecules move the electrons
NAD+ and FAD
What defines the boundary of a cell
lipids
Where is the information stored
DNA
How and when do they do it
RNA and Proteins
common intermediates of catabolism can be oxidized to form
CO2 and energy
Hydrolyzed to glucose then glycolysis
extracellular polysaccarides
Hydrolyzed to amino acids then precursor for TCA
Proteins
Acetyl CoA- TCA and respiration
Lipids/ fatty acids
Acetyl CoA and TCA/ respiration
organics e.g. pollutants
cells use hydrolytic enzymes to
break bonds
hydrolytic enzymes add what to break bonds?
water
cells use a variety of organic molecules as energy sources
– Use hydrolyIc enzymes to break bonds
– Di- and oligo-saccharides
– Lipids
– Proteins
Starch and cellulose polymers of glucose
Polysaccharides and disaccharides
Amylases breaks down starch to
glucose subunits
Cellulases breaks down cellulose to
glucose subunits
-
Glucose enters glycolysis for
metabolism
– Disaccharides are hydrolyzed by specific disaccharidases
Polysaccharides and disaccharides
liberated through hydrolysis enters glycolysis
– Glucose
Other monosaccharide modified before metabolism
are combinaIon of fatty acids and glycerol
simple lipids
Hydrolyzed by lipases
lipids
Glycerol is converted to
dihydroxyacetone phosphate
-Molecule enters glycolysis
Fatty acids degraded by β-oxidaIon
lipids
– Transfers 2-C fatty acid units to
coenzyme A
» Forms acetyl CoA that enters TCA cycle
