Energy transformation - ATP
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Optimum pH | The pH at which the catalytic activity of an enzyme is THE HIGHEST |
2 catabolic pathways | -aerobic energy transformation -anaerobic energy transformation |
^ brain activity | ^ Energy transformation |
Energy substrates | -ATP – Adenosine Triphosphate (Stored in the cells) -CP – Creatine Phosphate (stored in the cells) |
ADP + Pi | ATP |
ATP characteristics | -ATP is the only type of energy that may be directly utilized by the cells. -ATP cannot be transported from cell to cell, thus each cell must be self-reliant -Cells have a very small amount of stored ATP |
How do you resynthesize ATP | 7.3 kcal of energy |
Why doesn’t body store ATP? | Very heavy and dense fuel -Human body turns over its own weight in ATP per day. |
Substrates | glycogen & glucose |
Carbohydrates are the only energy substrates | that may be oxidized both aerobically and anaerobically |
stored glycogen | stored as sugar granules in the cytoplasm |
Energy investment phase | -You need energy to yield energy -Used 2 ATP to get reaction to happen |
End product of anaerobic glycogen | Lactic acid |
Hexokinase | Control the rate of glucose utilization -ATP -> ADP - Make glycogen |
Phosphorylase | Muscle glycogen used for T.B |
Phosphofructokinase (main enzyme) | Rate limiting enzyme |
No NAD | All reactions will stop |
How does NAD get rid of hydrogen ? | When pyruvate turns lactic acid it gives away its hydrogen |
