Glycolosis
net products |
decomposition of glucose that happens in the cytosol.
2 pyruvate 2 ATP fro substrate level phosphorylation 2 NADH |
|
Oxidative Phosphorylation
|
Stepwise reactions in mitochondria to produce ATP using the electron transport chain and redox reactions
|
|
substrate level phosphorylation
|
Enzyme transfers a phosphate group from a substrate molecule directly onto ADP. (generally from catabolis of glucose but not necessarily)
|
|
NAD+
(Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) |
important coenzyme found in cells. It plays key roles as carriers of electrons in the transfer of reduction potential. At key points Hydrogen atoms are stripped and transferred to NAD+ along with 2 electrons.
|
|
Dehydrogenase
|
an enzyme that oxidizes a substrate by transferring one or more protons and a pair of electrons to an acceptor, usually NAD/NADP or a flavin coenzyme such as FAD or FMN.
Removes a pair of H atoms, one is released as H+ to solution. |
|
3 steps to turn pyruvate into Acetyl Co A
|
1) carboxyl group is released as CO2
2) Remaining 2 carbon fragment is oxidized to form acetate. An enzye transfers the electrons onto NAD+ making NADH. 3) Co A, a sulfur containing compound made from a B vit, is attached to the acetate by an unstable bond that makes the acetyl group very reactive. |
|
Krebs Cycle
(concept and net result) |
8 steps, 2 carbons enter as acetate and leave as CO2. For each mol of acetate entering the cycle:
3- NADH 1 - FADH2 1- substrate level phosphorylation to make ATP |
|
Cytochromes
|
Proteins in electron transport chain that act as electron carriers between Q and oxygen. They have a heme prosthetic.
|
|
Cytrochrome A3
|
passes the final electron to O2.
|
|
for every 2 NADH
at the end of the electron chain |
one O2 is reduced to 2 H2O
|
|
Which contains more free energy, FADH2 or NADH?
|
NADH. FADH2 has about 1/3 the energy. Result from FADH2 is 2 ATP max.
|
|
cheiosmosis
|
is the diffusion of ions across a membrane. More specifically, it relates to the generation of ATP by the movement of hydrogen ions across a membrane.
Used in both respiration and photosynthesis |
|
ATP synthase
|
is a general term for an enzyme that can synthesize adenosine triphosphate (ATP) from adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and inorganic phosphate by utilizing some form of energy.
|
|
proton motive force
|
H+ gradient with a capacity to produce work.
|
|
Fermentation
|
Glyolysis with reactions to regenerate NAD+ by transferring electrons from NADH to pyruvate or its derivitaves.
|
|
Alcohol fermentation
|
Pyruvate is converted to ethanol in 2 steps.
1) relese CO2 from pyruvate to make acetaldehyde. 2) acetaldehyde is reduced by NADH to ethanol. |
|
Lactic acid fermentation
|
Pyruvate is reduced directly by NADH to for lactate without CO2 production
|
|
deamination
|
removal of amino group so an amino acid can enter glycolysis or the Krebs Cycle.
|
|
beta oxidation
|
breaks down fats to 2 carbon fragments to enter Krebs as Acetyl Co A.
|
|
Phosphofructokinase
concept inhibited and stimmed by |
first step that irreversibly commits a molecule to glycolytic pathway so it is considered a pacemaker of respiration.
Inhibited by ATP and stimmed by AMP. Also sensitive to citrate that accumulates in the cytosol because it can migrate to mitochondria and inhibit phosphofructokinase |
|
What are the 2 parts of glycolysis
|
1) energy spending - Splits glucose and turns it into 2 triose sugars taking 2 ATP to do so
2) energy payoff - 2 NADH are formed by dehydrogenating those sugars and 4 ATP are made turning those into pyruvate. |
