Nutrient Metabolism and Temperature Regulation Flashcards
(31 cards)
What is catabolism?
breaking down of molecules that gives off energy
What is anabolism?
building up of molecules that requires energy
What are the three processes which must occur in a cell to produce ATP?
Glycolysis
Keri’s cycle
e-transport train
What is the main molecule the cell uses to create ATP?
Glucose
What type of compound is Glucose?
a 6 carbon compound
Why is glucose broken down into two pyruvic acid?
The 6 carbon compound is too large to enter into mitochondria
What is the function of the Kreb’s cycle?
to remove electrons then send them down the electron transport chain
What accepts electrons at the end of the e-transport chain?
Oxygen
For 2 pyruvic acids, how much ATP is produced?
2 ATP
For every NADH that is sent to the electronic transport chain how much ATP is produced?
3 ATP
For every FADH2 that is sent into the electronic transport chain how much ATP is produced?
2 ATP
CD–>D+C is what type of reaction?
Catabolism
A+B–>AB is what type of reaction?
anabolism
What will leftover O2 from ATP synthesis result in?
H20
When lactic acid is produced, what type of respiration is it?
Anaerobic respiration
When ATP is produced, what type of respiration is it?
Areobic respiration
What is lipid metabolism also called?
Beta oxidation
What is broken down and released as free fatty acids?
Adipose tricycerids
Free fatty acids are broken down by beta oxidation into what?
Acetyl-Coa
How many carbons are in Acetyl-Coa?
2 Carbons
What breakdown of lipid can enter directly into the Kreb cycle?
Acetyl-Coa
If an 18 carbon fatty acid is broken down via beta-oxidation, how much ATP is produced?
over 108 ATP
How are new amino acids formed?
transamination
What is the transfer of an amine group to a Keto acid?
transamination
