Test 3 Flashcards
what is oxidation
reaction where electrons (Hydrogen atoms) are transferred (Lost)
what is reduction
process in which electrons (hydrogen atoms) are gained
what is the most common/feasible way to measure oxygen consumption in the lab?
Open Circuit
Where do anaerobic and aerobic metabolism occur within the muscle fiber?
sarcoplasm, mitochondria
what are the rate limiting enzymes for glycolysis and for Krebs cycle
Phosphofructokinase, isocitracte dehydrogenase, glycolysis
what is the first reaction of the Krebs cycle
condensation of acetyl-CoA with oxaloacetate to form citrate
what is the most important function of the Krebs cycle ?
remove hydrogen associated with electron
what acts as the final electron acceptor of the electron transport chain and what other than ATP is formed in the process
oxygen; while glucose and CO2 play a role in earlier processes of cellular respiration
glycolysis
breakdown of a glucose molecule
lipolysis
breaking a triglyceride into 1 glycerol and 3 fatty acids
Bioenergetics
the flow of energy in a biological system the conversion of macronutrients into biological usable forms of energy
endergonic reaction
reactions that store or absorb energy and include anabolic processes
exergonic reactions
energy releasing reactions that are generally catabolic
coupled reactions
free energy from exergonic reactions serve to drive endergonic reactions
gluconeogenesis
building of a glucose molecule from amino acids or lactate
glycogenolysis
a breakdown of glycogen into glucose molecules
