Aerobic, anaerobic, proteins and lipids
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Aerobic Respiration | breakdown of glucose in the presence of O2 to produce CO2, H2O, 36/38 ATP |
Phases of Aerobic Respiration | Glycolysis, Transition Reaction, Kreb's Cycle, Electron Transport Chain |
Glycolysis | Requires ATP. Doesn't need O2. Cell lysis glucose (6 carbon) to pyruvate (3 carbon). H removed and slowly accepted by NAD. |
Site of Glycolysis | Cytoplasm |
Glycolysis Yield | Yields 2 ATP (2 in, 4 out). FINAL YIELD = 2 atp, 2 nadh, 2 pyruvate |
Transition Rxn | Needs O2. |
Site of Transition Rxn | Matrix of mitochondria |
Transition Rxn Yield | 0 atp, H removed, accepted by NAD. 2 carbons removed. FINAL YIELD = 2 coenzyme A, 2 NADH, 2 CO2 |
Kreb's Cycle | Needs O2. 2 ATP produced by Substrate Phosphorylation. 4 carbons removed. H accepted at various stages by NAD and FAD. |
Site of Kreb's Cycle | Matrix of mitochondria |
Kreb's Cycle Yield | FINAL YIELD = 2 atp, 6 nadh, 2 fadh2, 4 co2 |
Electron Transport Chain | Needs O2. 32/34 ATP produced by Oxidative Phosphorylation. H is transferred from NADH and FADH2 in first 3 stages to electron acceptor in mitochondria. Electrons from H rel. energy from one energy level to the next. Low energy electrons accepted by O2. |
Site of Electron Transport Chain | Cristae of mitochondria |
Electron Transport Chain Yield | 32/34 ATP. NADH = 3 ATP, FADH2 = 2 ATP. Sometimes NADH is reduced yielding 32 instead of 34 ATP. |
Anaerobic Respiration | Breakdown of glucose in the absence of O2. |
Phases of Anaerobic Respiration | Glycolysis (2 atp, 2 nadh, 2 pyruvic acid), Lactic acid converted from pyruvic acid |
Anaerobic Respiration Yield | FINAL YIELD = 2atp, 2 nadh, 2 lactic acid |
Conversion of lactic acid | Lactic acid goes to the liver, where it undergoes the Kreb's Cycle to be reconverted into pyruvic acid |
Lipid Metabolism | Triacylglycerol -> glycerol + fatty acid. glycerol --glycolysis--> Acetyl CoA. fatty acids --Beta oxidation--> Acetyl CoA which enters Kreb's Cycle. Acetyl CoA can be used to produce Ketone bodies (keto acids). |
Protein Metabolism | New AA formed by transamination. AA are used to syntehsize proteins. AA can be used as energy but NH3 and Keto acids are produced. |
Transamination | Transfer of an amine group to a keto acid. |
Glycogenesis | Formation of glycogen from glucose |
Lipogenesis | Formation of lipids from glucose and amino acids |
Glycogenolysis | Breakdown of glycogen to glucose |
Gluconeogenesis | Formation of glucose from amino acids and glycerol |
Metabolic States | Absorptive, Postabsorptive |
Absorptive State | nutrients are used as energy or stored |
Postabsorptive State | Stored nutrients are used for energy |
Structure of Glucose | C6 H12 O6 |
