muscle

glycolysis is a process involvin

reactions that concert glucose to pyruvate

the major end products of cellular oxidation of carb include

water, carbon dioxide, and energy

in what part of the cell does glycol's occur

cytoplasmic matrix

in what organelle are the enzymes that catalyze the citric acid cycle located?

mitochondrion

in which cellular site is most of the energy released when carb are oxidized to carbon dioxide and water?

under anaerobinx conditions within a cell, how many net ATPs are formed from one glucose molecule by substrate level phosphorylation?

twoo

in the complete oxidization of 1 mol of glucose, how many ATPs are formed?

38

when oxygen is present in a tissue, less glucose is metabolized to pyruvate, why?

ATP accumulates and inhibits phosphotructokinase

alcohol in beverages is degraded mainly in the liver cytoplasm with the production of one NADH for each ethanol molecule. predict what effect consumption of alcohol would have on the activity of the liver malate shuttle

increased

during the end reaction of the ETC, molecular oxygen becomes

reduced to water

electron flow through complexes 1, 111 and IV is accompanied by the translocation of protons

from the matrix into the inter membrane space

electrons carried by one mole NADH + H enter the electron transport chain at complex 1 and generate __ moles ATP as they are sequentially oxidized

3

the enzyme ATP synthase is believed to catalyze the formation of ATP according to the __ theory

chemiosmotic

the purpose of the hexose monophosphate shunt is to produce

pentose phosphates and NADPH

which tissue has the least activity of the hexose monophosphate shunt?

skeletal muscle

glyconeogenesis is essentially the reversal of which pathway?

glycolysis

all of the following are substrates for gluconeogenesis except

fatty acids

muscle lactate is converted to glucose in the liver and returned to the muscle by means of the

cori cycle

all of the following enzymes are negatively regulated by increasing levels of ATP except

hexokinase

if an individual with no blood sugar abnormalities when eating regularly presented with severe hypoglycaemia after 30 hours of fasting, which enzyme would you suspect might be malfunctioning?

fructose 1, 6 biphosphatase

glucagon stimulated hepatic glyconeogenesis and suppresses glycolysis by reducing the concentration of __, a positive modulator of phosphofructokinase

fructose 2,6-biphosphate

two hormones that stimulate glycogenolysis int he muscle and liver are


epinephrine and glucagon

a homopolysaccharide that is important in human diets is ___ and the end product formed from the complete digestion of this mono polysaccharide is

starch; glucose

T/F the purpose of the hexose monophosphate shunt (HMS) is to generate ribose, for nucleic acid synthesis , and NAD for oxidizing power.


f. it generates NADH for reducing power

T/F phosphorylation of a protein always results in its inactivation, whereas dphosphorylation activates it

F. phsophorylation can sometimes inactivate a protein/enzyme and sometimes activate a protein/enzyme with dephospho rylation respectively activating and inactivating these enzymes

T/F glucose is transported from the lumen into the enterocyte by active transport using SGLT1 protein which also required Na as a co-transporter

True

t/f the process of gluconeogenesis occurs partialy in the mitochondria and partially in the cytosol

true

t/f the muscle is an important tissue in gluceoneogenesis because it can use amino acids from protein breakdown and convert them to glucose, which it then secreted into the circulation for other tisues

false

t/f for lygoneolysis to occur, the signal in liver and muscle is glucagon, which si secreted but he pancreas in response to low blood glucose levels

false

t/f the reason we require the malate-aspartate shuttle is because NADH cannot enter the mitochondria to donate its electrons to the elevetron transport chain

true

t/f the core cycle would be active under anaerobic conditions, such as excessive muscle exertion

true

t/f although many enzymes in a given pathway are bidirectional, often the key enzymes are undirectional

true

t/f because they do not have mitochondria, red blood cels generate a lot of lactate from glycolysis, which they in turn must convert into glucose to meet their energy needs

f

t/f all cells have mitochondria, which act as the main site for ATP production

false

t/f active transport requires energy for the Na-K pump to transport Na out of the cell thereby driving the transport of something else, when the Na re-enters the cell own its concentration gradient
