  • Front
  • Back
metabolism
all chemical reactions and physical workings of a cell
two types of chemical reactions
anabolism and catabolism
anabolism
biosynthesis; process that forms larger macromolecules from smaller molecules
catabolism
degradative; breaks the bonds of larger molecules forming smaller ones
enzymes
biological catalyst that increase the rate of a chemical recatio by lowering the energy of activation
simple enzymes
consist of a protein alone
conjugated enzymes or holoezymes
contain protein and nonprotein molcules
apoenzyme
protein portion
cofactors
nonprotein portion
cofactors include:
metallic objects (iron and copper) magnesium. all are ions
coenzymes
organic molecules such as vitamins
active site or catalytic site
site for substrate binding
inducded fit
a temp. enzyme substarte union occurs when substrate moves into active site
competitive inhibtion
substance that resembles normal substate competes with substrate for active site
noncompetitive inhibition
enzymes are regulated by the binding of molecules other than on the substrate on the active site
feedback inhibition
concentration of product at the end of a pathway blocks the action of a key enzyme
feedback repression
inhibits at the genetic level by controlling synthesis of key enzymes
enzyme induction
enzymes are made only when suitabe substrates are present
synthesis or condensation reactions
anabloic reactions to form covalent bonds between smaller substartes, require ATP, release one molecule of water for each bone formed
hydrolysis reactions
catabolic reactions that break down substrates into small molecules; requires the input of water to break bonds
endergonic reactions
comsume energy
exergonic reactions
release energy
redox reactions
always occur in pairs with an electron donor and electron accceptor
redox reactions
released energy can be captured to phosphorlyate ADP
oxidation
release of electrons
reduction
gaining electrons
coupled oxidation and reduction
the donor is oxidized the acceptor is reduced
electron and proton carriers
accept and release electrons and hydrogen to faciliate the transfer of redox energy
eletron and proton carriers are mostly what:
coenzymes: NAD, FAD, NAD, coenzyme A
often involves hydrogen
ATP consist of what:
adenine, ribose, 3 phosphate groups
how does ATP make energy
Removal of terminal phosphate
AMP=
adenosine monophosphate
ADP=
adenosine diphosphate
phosphorlation is?
the transfer of a phosphate
ATP can be formed by three different mechanisms:
substate level phosphorylation, oxidative phosphorlylation, photophosphorylation
substrate-level phosphorylation
transfer of phosphate group from a phosphorylated compound (substrate) directly to ADP
oxidative phosphorylation
series of redox reactisn occuring during respiratory pathway
photophysphorylation
ATP is formed utilizaing the energy of sunlight
Bioenergetics?
study of the mechnisms of cellular energy relase and use
primary catabolism of fuels is through what 3 pathways:
glycolysis, kreb's cycle, electron transport
aerobic respiration
glycolysis, the TCA cycle, respiratory chain
anaerobic respiratoin
glycolsis, TCA cycle, molecule oxygen is not final electron acceptor
glycolysis
process happens in the absence of oxygen
glycolisys breaks down:
breaks down glucose to pyruvate
how many molcules of pyruvic acid from one molecule of glucose
2 pyruvate are formed
NAD is necessary for____________ and ATP is required to __________
glycolysis, start
NAD is oxidized into what
NADH
how many ATP are produced from ATP (net)
2, 2 in 4 out thus net gain of 2 ATP
What are the two steps of Aerobic respiration
Krebs cycle, electron transport chain
What happens in the Krebs Cycle
pyruvate is degraded to CO2, during this process NADH and FADH2 are released
NADH and FADH2 enter the ________
electron transport chain
electron transport chain
flow of elctrons is higly energetic and yields ATPs, at its end oxygen is the acceptor (last step of areobic respiration
pyruvate is modified and sent to what after glycolysis
Krebs cycle
Where is the electron transport chain located in eukaryotes, prokaryotes
mitochondria, cell membrane.
The terminal step
oxygen accepts 2 electrons from ETA and then picks up 2 hydrogen ions from solution to form water.
anearobic respiration
utilizes oxygen containing ions.
glucose is phosphoralted by the means of an ATP acting with what enzyme?
hexokinase
what is the product of the 1st phosphorylation of glucose
glucose-6-phosphate
glucose-6-phosphate is convereted to what isomer and by what enzyme
fructose 6 phosphate by phosphoglucoisomerase
the second phosphorylation of fructose-6-phosphate makes what
fructose 1,6 diphosphate
fructose 1, 6 diphosphate is split into what during glycolysis
G3p
G3p loses a Hydrogen to NAD to become what
it gains a phosphate
Glycolsis yields how many net ATP
2, and a 2 NADH
what enzyme takes the last phoshate off during glycolysis
pryuvate kinase
krebs cycle requires two steps
what are they
pyruvate is modifed to enter krebs
Where do FADH and NADH from krebs cycle go
to Electron transport chain
What is the final electron acceptor in th ETC
Oxygen
what do eletrons do in anaerobic respiration?
Jump from one elctron to another.

Anaerobic respiration gain ATP but not as much ~20.
Fermentation is what?
an incomplte oxidation of glucose or other carbs
how much ATP is yielded by fermentation
2 from glycolysis. they use organic compounds as terminal electron acceptors
