100

What is inhibited by cyanide, azide, CO?

complex IV

100

Triggers/Regulators of glucogenesis

during rest (after Cori cycle is completed)

increased glucose (and insulin)

Regulation: ATP and UTP

100

What are the 3 possible fates of pyruvate?

glycolysis

glycogenesis

glyconeogenesis

100

Describe the first step of alcohol metabolism

ethanol-->acetaldehyde via alcohol dehydrogenase

200

ETC's function is to move electrons from the mitochondrial matrix to the inner membrane space, thus establishing a gradient. 

Describe this gradient (general)

Creates a proton gradient with the outside of the membrane being more positive than the inside

200

What is inhibited by barbituates and rotenone?

complex I

200

Triggers and regulators of glycogenolysis

Trigger: during fasting state

Regulators: glucagon and epinephrine

200

What type of PPP occurs during low levels of NADPH?

Is it reversible or irreversible?

Oxidative

irreversible

200

Describe the 2nd step of alcohol metabolism

acetaldehyde --> acetate via mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase

300

List the ETC complexes/electron carriers in order 

NADH dehydrogenase-->

Complex I

CoQ

Complex II

Complex III

Cytochrome C

Complex IV


300

What is inhibited by myxothiazol?

electron transfer from UQH2 and Complex 3

300

What is different about glycogenolysis in muscle cells?

G6P will enter glycolysis since there is no G6phosphatase in muscle

300

List the 3 steps that differ in gluconeogenesis and their general mechanisms including the enzymes and general reactions

1. glucose --> Glucose-6-Phosphate

         Enzyme: glucose-6-phosphatase

3. fructuose-6-phosphate -->fructose-1,6 bisphosphate

         Enzyme: fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase

8. PEP --> pyruvate 

         Enzyme: PEP carboxykinase


Extra Step: pyruvate --> OAA (via pyruvate carboxylase)

300

T/F: acetate is toxic whereas acetaldehyde is not

False: acetaldehyde is toxic 

400

What is the main function of the ETC?

producing ATP and H2O

400

What is inhibited by oligomycin and DCCD

F0/F1 ATP synthase
400

Describe glycogen structure

branched a-D-glucose polysaccharide with glycogenin core

-primary glycosidic bond at a-1,4 followed by a-1,6 every 8-10 residues

400

What type of PPP occurs during high levels of NADPH?

Is it reversible or irreversible?

nonoxidative

reversible

400

Dehydrogenases used in alcohol metabolism rely on what substrate to work?

NAD+

500

Describe the general MOA of ATP synthase

after H+ are pumped to cytosol of inner mito, they reenter matrix via F0 domain causing rotation of F0 which allows F1 to bind ADP+P to phosphorylate to ATP

500

MOA of for cyanide, Azide, CO????

binds tightly to Fe3+

500

5. glycogenin

a) conversion of G-6-P to G-1-P

b) formation of α(1→4) linkages in glycogen/elongation

c) transfer of glucose molecules from UDP-glucose to produce a short, α(1→4)- linked glucosyl chain.

d) synthesis of UDP-glucose

3) glycogen branching

1. e?

2. b)

3. d)

4. a)

5. c?

500
