proteins (amino acids)
Carbs (glucose)
Lipids (fatty acids)
Lipids (glycerol)
What roles does the ETC play?
1.High energy compounds (glucose) give up electrons and hydrogen ions to NAD+ and FAD.
2.The NADH + H+ and FADH2 are formed and transfer these electrons and hydrogen ions to oxygen to form H2O.
3.The energy yielded by the entire process generates ATP from ADP and Pi.
Why is ETC oxidized?
Because it is losing electrons to form the ATP.
A sequence of chemical reactions used by cells to convert the carbons of acetate to carbon dioxide and to yield energy.
Citric Acid Cycle
What happens in the Citric Acid Cycle?
Acetyl-CoA enters the cycle, and the reactions eventually yield 2 molecules of CO2. This produces NADH + H+ and other molecules which are used to form many ATP.
What are glucose, fatty acids, and amino acids converted to before entering the citric acid cycle?
idk?
*** GO BACK!
1.What amino acids can be converted to glucose?(use terms)
2.Where do these amino acids enter into the energy pathway?
1.Glucogenic, gycerol, lactate, pyruvate
2.Gluconeogenesis
What is an example of a catabolic pathway?
The catabolism of glucose that results in the release of CO2 and H2O. Energy is released in this process: some trapped for cell use and some lose as heat.
