Cards

Term
Metabolism
Definition

Term
Exergonic vs. Endergonic Reactions
Definition

Exergonic: give off energy as a result of the chemical process

Term
Bioenergetics
Definition
the study of transformation of energy in living organisms. (converting foodstuffs into energy)
Term
Two types of Metabolism (the total of all chemical reactions that occur in the body
Definition

Anabolic: synthesis of molecules

Catabolic: Breakdown of molecules

Term
Fuels for Exercise and their storage form
Definition

1. Carbohydrates (glycogen)

Term

Type of Reaction:

ADP and CP to ATP

Definition
Anabolic (Endergonic)
Term
Coupled Reaction: Sun Releases energy (heat and light) into space...exergonic or endergonic?
Definition
Exergonic (example for coupled reaction)
Term

Coupled Reaction...exergonic or endergonic:

Plants trap light energy and harness it to increase energy (sugar content)

Definition
Endergonic (couple reaction example)
Term
Oxidation-Reduction Reactions
Definition

Oxidation: removing an electron

Reduction: addition of an electron

Always coupled!

Term
Reducing agent
Definition
the molecule/atom that donates electrons
Term
Oxidizing agent
Definition
The molecule/atom that accepts electrons
Term
What is the oxidizing agent and which is the reducing agents?  NAD vs. NADH
Definition

NAD: oxidizing

NADH: Reducing

Term
Energy Carriers.  Definition, example, and what it's vital in.
Definition
Transport hydrogens (therefore energy).  Vital in aerobic production of ATP. NAD+/NADH and FAD+/FADH
Term
Enzymes.  Definition and factors that regulate enzyme activity
Definition

Catalysts that regulate the speed of reactions.  Lower the energy of activation.

 

Temp and pH

Term
ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)
Definition
Immediate source of energy for muscular contraction.  A high energy phosphate compound.
Term
Structure of ATP
Definition

1. Adenine portion

2. ribose portion

3.three linked phosphates

[image]

Term
3 ways muscle cells can produce ATP (by one or in combo)
Definition

1.PC- Phosphocreatine breakdown (anaerobic)

2.Glycolysis- degradation of glucose or glycogen (anaerobic)

3.Oxidative formation- use of oxygen (aerobic metabolism)

Term
Fastest most simple way of producing ATP
Definition

PC + ADP --> ATP +C

PC donates phospate group to ADP to form ATP

Term
Enzyme that catalyzes PC + ADP
Definition
Creatine Kinase
Term
ATP-PC System
Definition
combination of stored ATP and PC.  The Phosphagen system.  Provides energy for muscular contraction at onset of exercise and short term, high intensity exercises <5sec.  Depletes quickly because muscle cells store only small amounts of PC.
Term

Where do anaerobic Pathways take place?

 

 

Definition
Sarcoplasm (PC breakdown and glycolysis)
Term
Where do aerobic pathways take place?
Definition
Mitochondria (Oxidative phosphorylation)
Term
Timing of what pathways are being used in bioenergetics
Definition

< 15 sec CP

<2 min Glycolysis

Continuous Oxidative Phosphorylation

Term
Glycolysis in simple terms
Definition

 Breakdown of glucose or glycogen to form two molecules of pyruvic acid or lactic acid.  It transfers bond energy from glucose to rejoin Pi to ADP.  Occurs in Sarcoplasm.

Produces a net gain of 2 ATP and 2 molecules of pyruvic/lactic acid.

Term
Two phases in Glycolysis
Definition

Energy investment phase: where stored ATP must be used to form sugar phosphates. 

Energy generation phase:

Term
Energy investment phase (glycolysis) (3 Steps)
Definition

1. Glucose is phosphorylated from ATP to activate the molecule C6-P

2.  Rearrangement and 2nd phosphorylation from another ATP P-C6-P

3. The 6 carbon molecule is split into two 3 carbon molecules G3P

Term
Energy Generation Phase (steps 4-8) of glycolysis
Definition

4. the two G3P's get oxidized (removing H+). (NAD+ takes the electron to become NADH). Followed by another phosphorylation to make high energy BPG (two of them!)

5. ADP takes the high energized p bond to make ATP and 3PG (two of them each!) 

6. Water is removed, oxidizing, making 2 high energy PEP molecules

7. ADP takes the energy to make 2 ATPs

8. 2 Pyruvates is the end product.....if Oxygen is available...it will continue further breakdown in the mitochondria!!!

Term
Pyruvic Acid to Lactic Acid
Definition
Pyruvic accepts H+ from NADH making Lactic Acid
Term
What happens at the end of glycolysis?
Definition

If it is slow...pyruvate is produced and moves into the mitochondria (Krebs Cycle)

If fast... lactate is produced and moves out of the cell into circulation

Term
Aerobic ATP production (simple terms)
Definition

Krebs Cycle- complete the oxidation of substrates, NAD and FAD become hydrogen carriers, and NADH and FADH enter the ETC

 

Electron Transport Chain- oxidative phosphorylation, electrons removed from NADH and FADH are passed along a series of carriers to produce ATP, and H+ from NADH and FADH are accepted by O2 to form water

Term
Krebs Cycle (Simple)
Definition

1. pyruvate (3 C) gives C to oxygen to give off CO2.  Now it's acetyl CoA (2 C)

2. Acetyl CoA combines with oxaloacetate (4 C) to form citrate (6 C)

3. Then a series of reactions to regenerate oxaloacetate and 2 molecules of CO2

Term

Molecules synthesized from intermediates in the Citric Acid Cycle

1. Citrate

2. beta ketogluterate

3. succinyl coA

4. malate

5. oxaloacetate

2.amino acids, nucleotides

3. heme

4. pyruvate

5. Glucose

Term
Electron Transport Chain (simple)
Definition
FADH and NADH from the CAC enter the ETC.  End result is formation of ATP and water.  
Term
how is water formed in the ETC
Definition
by the oxygen-accepting electrons; hence the reason we breathe oxygen is to use it as the final acceptor of electrons in aerobic metabolism
Term
ETC results in...
Definition
pumping H+ ions across inner mitochondrial membrane...results in a H+ gradient

1. Creatine Kinase

2.Phosphofructokinase
