32
How do enzymes work?

- makes substrate more unstable
3) chemical charge changes
- changing chemical properties of the substrate makes more unstable
33

44

Glucose is the primary fuel source of ATP production
45
What is glycolysis?
Breaking down of 1 glucose to 2 pyruvate molecules in the cytosol
46
Anaerobic respiration
occurs when o2 levels or enzyme levels are low
Either produces lactate in rbc, muscles, or bacteria (3c)
Or yeast/bacteria produces ethanol and c02
47
Aerobic respiration
occurs when o2 levels and enzyme levels are high
initially starts with breaking down of pyruvate to acetate (2c) and releasing a co2
krebs cycles
48
krebs cycle
acetate breaks down to 2 co2 and releases one high energy electron to the etc
49
Electron transport chain
etc leads to oxidative phosphorylization, ADP + P -> ATP, making 26-28 ATP with one glucsose. oxyen
50
Glycolysis general
- Splitting of sugar in cytosol
- 10 Steps
- 1 Glucose -> 2 pyruvate
51
Glycolysis Steps
1) Glucose (6c) -> Glucose 6-Phosphate (ATP-ADP)
2) Glucose 6-Phosphate -> Fructose 6-Phosphate
3)Fructose 6-Phosphate -> Fructose 1,6-Phosphate (ATP - ADP)
4) Fructose 1,6-Phospate -> Dihydroxyacetate Phosphate + Glyceraldehyde-3 Phosphate (DHAP racemizes to G3P)
5).... NAD+ gets reduced (twice) and ADP->ATP (twice)
ends with 2 pyruvate made
....H.O.O
H-C-C-C-O -
....H
52
Fermentation
Pyruvate turns into
1) Lactate
....H.H.O
H-C-C-C-O-
....H.H
or...
2) Ethanol and CO2
and the NADH formed in glycolysis turned back to NAD+
53
Pyruvate formula
C3H3O3
54
Lactate formula
C3H5O3
55
Aerobic Respiration
1) Pyruvate sent through into the mitochondrial matrix, active transport (NAD+ -> NADH, and CO2 lost)
2) Pyruvate is now acetate, is combined with Acetyl CoA to make Acetyl CoA
3) Acetyl CoA combined with Oxaloacetate (4c) to make Citrate (6c)
56
Acetate formula
C2H3O2
57
Citric Acid Cycle
1) Citrate to 5c molecule (Co2 lost, NAD+ -> NADH)
2) 5c molecule to 4c molecule (NAD+ ->NADH, and CO2)
3) GDP -> GTP
4) FAD+ -> FADH
5) H2O lost
6) NAD+ -> NADH, results in Oxaloacetate, reused in aerobic respiration
this all happens twice per glucose molecule, 2 pyruvates
58
General Results from Citric Acid Cycle
+2 ATP
+2 GTP
+10 NADH
+2 FADH2
59
Electron Transport Train
NADH gets oxidized, Cytochrome 1 gets reduced and uses some of a high electrons energy to pump 1 hydrogen into the intermembrane space.
Cytochrome (CTC) gives the electron to CTC 2, passes it to CTC 3 and CTC 3 pumps another hydrogen ion into the intermembrane space.
CTC 3 gives the electron to CTC4, pumps another H+ into the intermembrane space, CTC 4 gives 2 electrons to an O to make H2O (metabolic water)
ATP Synthase complex uses the electrochemical gradient to make 26-28 ATP, is about 38% efficient in turning glucose energy to ATP energy
60
How are other monosaccharides incorporated into the krebs cycle?
converted to glucose/fructose, polysaccharides broken down into monomers
61
how are triglycerides catalyzed?

62
how are ptorines catalyzed
broken down to amino acids, amine groups are removed and the r-group determines which step of the krebs cycle they are integrated at (we can only synthesize 12/20 amino acids)
63

metabolic process of taking 6co2 and 6h2o + photons -> c6h12o6 and 6o2
two parts, light dependant (making of NADPH and ATP)
and light independant (uses ATP and NADPH to fix carbon)
66
Absorption of light energy

69
Photosystem 1
Chl 700 is excited by a photon, except its excited electron does to reduce NADP+ -> NADPH, Chl 700 is reduced by electron from ETC. NADPH + ATP from PS-2 go to light independent reactions
