CURB THE CARB Flashcards
(95 cards)
per mole of glucose, ilang ATP meron?
36 or 38 moles of ATP
CHO can generate reducing equivalents in the form of
NADPH
RIBOSE: nucleic acids
_______: milk
galactose
glucose is major fuel for fetus by the ____ trimester
3rd, max transfer of nutrients from mother to baby
dietary fibers: ___ & ___ binds lipid compounds such as cholesterols
Pectin and Lectin
Thus, these lower blood cholesterol levels
Pyruvate converted to Alanine by what pathway?
Gluconeogenesis (AA to glucose)
30 to 40% of CHO digestion happens in the
mouth by salivary amylase (ptyalin)
linkages: 1,4 glycosidic ng amylose and amylopectin
pH: 6-7 pH at mainactivate siya by less than 4 pH
end products: dextrin, maltose
Sa small intestine naman ang final digestion of CHO by enzymes _______
pancreatic amylase (amylopsin) oligosaccharides from brush border of small intestine
enzyme -> CHO sucrase: sucrose lactase (beta-galactosidase): lactose maltase (alpha-glucosidase): maltose isomaltase (alpha 1,6 glucosidase): \_\_\_\_\_\_\_
alpha 1,6 glycosidic bonds
What part of the small intestine is CHO absorbed?
jejunum
What is the most rapidly absorbed CHO?
Galactose
What is the most LEAST rapidly absorbed CHO?
Pentoses
Fate of 50% glucose?
ENERGY (glycolysis)
Fate of 30-40% glucose?
FATS
Fate of 10% glucose?
GLYCOGEN (muscles, liver)
Insulin facilitates the entry of glucose inside cell EXCEPT in
LIVER
possible ang conversion ng G6P to glucose using ____
GLUCOSE-6-PHOSPHATASE pero nasa liver lang siya
why is hexokinase used first in the pathway?
kasi pwede siya gamitin kahit mababa levels ng glucose mo
bakit tinawag na “specific enzyme” ang glucokinase?
ACTS ONLY ON GLUCOSE
(induced by insulin) -> high levels of glucose
Oxidative degradation to CO2
energy formation by krebs cycle from glycolysis
FATES OF G6P?
uronic acid pathway krebs cycle/TCA glycolysis HMP shunt (degradation) blood glucose, energy, FA, cholesterol, glycogen
aerobic: glucose -> pyruvate
anaerobic: glucose -> _____
LACTATE
GLYCOLYSIS happens where in the cell?
CYTOSOL (exergonic to ah. energy producing MOSTLY)
What does RBC and cornea, lens, retina in relation to glycolysis?
lack mitochondria, anaerobic glycolysis
