How are the 30 molecules of ATP from complete glucose combustion formed? 

26 come from ETC

glucose in metabolized to 2 pyruvates which generate 4 ATP

when glucose in fermented, only 2 ATP produced per molecule 

100

What happens when ETC is inhibited?

proton-force gradient not generated 

ETC uncoupled from ATP synthase

inhibition of ATP synthase

ATP export inhibited 

100

What does the pentose phosphate pathway do and how does it work?

Generates NADPH and synth. 5 carbon sugars in cytoplasm 

1st phase: oxidative gen. of NADPH

2nd phase: non-ox interconverting phosphorylation of 3,4,5,6,7 carbon sugars 

100

What happens to ribulose 5 phosphate and what kind of rxn is it?

isomerized into ribose 5 phosphate via phosphopentose isomerase

reversible rxn 

100

What are the steps of the transketolase rxn mechanism?

1. TPP forms carbanion

2. carbanion attacks ketose substrate 

3. C-C bond is cleaved and aldose prod. is released, TPP binds to 2-C fragments and glycoaldehyde intermediate is formed

4. intermediate attacks aldose substrate

5. ketose prod is released and TPP is ready for another cycle

200

What determines the rate of ETC, why, and what is it known as?

need for ATP

e- cannot be transferred through ETC if ADP isn't available to be converted to ATP

ADP is respiratory control  

200

What happens in mitochondrial disease?

complex 1 doesn't function properly

ATP synthesis is reduced

ROS and mitochondrial damage are increased 

200

What pathways require NADPH?

synthesis: fatty acid, cholesterol, neurotransmitter, nucleotide

detoxification: red. of ox. glutathione, cyt. p450 monooxygenases


200

What is the non-oxidative phase and what are the components of the reactions?

made up of 3 rxns 

C5 + C5 to C7 + C3 transketolase 

C3 +C7 to C4 + C6 transaldolase

C4 + C5 to C6 + C3 transketolase 

200

What are the steps of the transaldolase rxn mechanism? 

1. Schiff base forms between enzyme and ketose substrate

2. Schiff base is protonated and aldose prod is released

3. substrate enzyme intermediate is formed

4. 3 carbon fragment bond to enzyme and add to aldose substrate 

5. Deprotonation

6. hydrolysis of Schiff base releases ketose prod    

300

Describe the respiratory control trend

As time goes on ADP decreases and O2 increases

300

What is apoptosis and how does it function? 

cell programmed death that is necessary for remodeling

mitochondria controls it and makes its membrane more permeable for dead cells to leave through death pathways made by cytochrome c   

300

What are the roles of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase?

starts ox. phase and converts glucose 6-phosphate to 6-phosphoglucano - delta- lactone

reduces NADP+ to NADPH

generates a second NADPH to convert 6-phosphoglucanate to riblous-5-phosphate + CO2  


300

What is Xylulose 5-phosphate, how is it formed and what type of rxn is it? 

substrate for transketolase rxn

formed from ribulose 5- phosphate and phosphopentose epimerase

reversible rxn  

400

What is IF1, what does it do, and what does an over-expression cause?

highly conserved protein that inhibits hydrolysis of ATP synthase

prevents hydrolysis when not enough oxygen to accept e-

leads to over-expression in cancer which causes aerobic glycolysis 

400

What is LHON and why does it occur?

vision loss due to optic nerve death with an abnormally shaped optic nerve

due to mitochondrial gene mutation where pro is sub for lys

caused by decreased ATP and increased ROS

400

What is the oxidative phase scheme? 

(refer to picture)

400

What is the sum of the nonoxidative rxns? 

converts 3 5 carbon sugars to components of glycolytic and glycogenic pathways 

500

What is non-shivering thermogenesis, what does it impact?

When e- transport is uncoupled from ATP synthase and heat is generated

UCP 1 does this and is an integral membrane protein

found in BAT

obesity decreases BAT

UCP 2 and 3 regulate body weight and homeostasis

500

What is the ETC inhibition flow scheme and what are the blockers and their locations?

NADH to NADH-Q oxidoreductase to QH2 to Q-cytochrome-c-oxidase to cytochrome c to cytochrome c oxidase to O2

blockage from NADH-Q ox. to QH2 by rotenone and amytal

blockage from Q-cyt. to cyt c by antimycin A 

blockage from cyt c ox. to O2 by CN- NH3- and CO

500

What do transketolase and transaldolase do?

link the PPP and glycolysis pathways

500

What do phosphopentose isomerase and epimerase do?

convert ribose 5 phosphate to xylulose 5 phosphate
