Metabolism Flashcards
Anabolic? Require energy?
Smaller molecules to larger ones, building up. Requires energy or ATP
Catabolic? Require energy?
Large molecules to smaller molecules. Releases energy.
What process is connected with anabolism?
Dehydration
What process is connected with catabolism?
Hydrolysis
Lypolysis
Fat breakdown
Glycogenolysis
Breakdown of glucagon into glucose
Glycolysis
Breakdown of glucose into pyruvate
Define oxidation
Lose of hydrogen, gain of oxygen
Define reduction
Gain of hydrogen, loss of oxygen
Define glycogenesis
Storing glucose in liver as glycogen
Cellular respiration equation
C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O + 38ATP + heat
What step of the cellular respiration is reversible?
Glycolysis
Is glucose oxidized or reduced during glycolysis?
Oxidized, because it loses the H+ and goes to NADH
What are the 2 possible steps of glycolysis?
Glucose turns into 2 pyruvic acids OR
IF NO OXYGEN IS AVAILABLE the pyruvic acid turns into lactic acid
How many ATP & NADH are created during glycolysis?
2 ATP
2 NADH
How many ATP & NADH is produced in the formation of acetylCoA?
No ATP
2 NADH
How many ATP & NADH are produced in the krebs cycle?
6 NADH
2 ATP
ALSO 2 FADH2
AND 4 CO2
What is chemiosmosis
When the H+ produced moves to the cristae of the mitochondria from the matrix, making the cristae high in acidity. The H+ is pushed back with ADPase, making ATP
Where is H2O made and how many?
In the ETC, 6
What is made in the ETC?
34 ATP
6 H2O
Define Gluconeogenesis
Where glucose is made from non carbohydrate sources when glucose levels are low.
Ketogenesis
AcetylCoA are produced from fats, they bind creating ketones
Define keto acidosis
Elevated number of ketones
Define ketones
Ketones are made when fats are catabolism’s to create ATP (chains of acetylCoA)
