What is catabolism? What is anabolism? What is bioenergetics? 

Breakdown of molecules (catastrophe- breaking stuff) 

Making of molecules (eating)

Converting food into energy we can use

100

What are the 5 factors that affect enzymes? 

Substrate concentration --> amount and availability

Modulator - stimulator or inhibitor

Cofactors (coenzymes) (NAD+, NADH, FAD+, FADH)

Temperature - around 37 degrees

pH - optimal around 8 

100

Why do we not store ATP?

It is very heavy, cannot carry lots around.

We store 80-100 g of ATP, 1 Unit of ATP weighs 0.5 g 

100

What are the main nutrients in exercise metabolism? 

Carbohydrates (glucose, glycogen, muscle and liver)

Lipids (fatty acids, triglycerides)

Proteins (amino acids)

100

When the enzyme under complex control what are the 4 things? 

1. Competitive Inhibition

2. Non Competitive Inhibition

3. Feedback Inhibition

4. Enzyme Affinity 

200

What are the 2 factors that affect energy production? 

1. Total Energy Demand

2. Rate of Demand

Total energy demand and rate of demand are coupled

200

What are does glycolysis, glycogenolysis, glucogenogenesis? 

Glycolysis - breakdown of glucose to pyruvate

Glycogenolysis - breakdown of glycogen to glucose

Glucogenogenesis - form glucose from non glucose things - ie pro vs fat  

200

What happens when an enzyme binds and breaks a molecule down? Does exercise make the body warmer or colder and does it make more or less enzyme activity? 

What is the key and what is the lock?

Releases the energy that was holding the molecule together

Exercise = warmer body = more enzyme activity

Enzyme =  🔒   Substrate = 🔑

200
Lactic acid is formed from _____________

Lactate dehydrogenase, acid dissociates and releases H+ which leaves the salt (lactate) 

200

What is the money analogy? 

Oxidative (Bank)

Glycolysis (Wallet)

ATP PCr (Change)

300

What happens in the mitochondria? Both prior and after acetyl coa? 

Everything prior to creating acetyl coa happens outside the mitochondria

Everything after we create acetyl coa happens inside the mitochondria

300

How much ATP come from the oxidation of 2 molecules of blood glucose?

2 ATP directly from glycolysis 

4  NADH (2 glycolysis and 2 PDH)= 10 ATP

Krebs cycle (2 direct ATP, 6 NADH, 2 FADH2)= 20 ATP

32 x 2 = 64

300

What is the actual yield of both NADH and FADH?


2.5 ATP

1.5 ATP

300

What are some other names for the Krebs Cycle? 

Tri carboxylic acid

Citric Acid Cycle

300

What is muscle glycogen? What is blood glucose? 

  • Muscle glycogen

    • Primary source during higher intensity, supplies most of first hour of exercise

  • Blood glucose (from liver)

    • Primary source during low-intensity, Important during long-duration exercise

400

What are the 3 enzymes involved with NADH + H+? How do we end krebs cycle?


Isocitrate dehydrogenase

alpha ketoglutarate dehydrogenase

malate dehydrogenase


it combines with acetyl COA and oxaloacetate 

400

How do we get 6 molecules of blood glucose? 

each molecules nets 2 ATP

produces 4 but uses 2 (remember HK!) (Hexokinase)

6 x 2 = 12 ATP

400

What enzyme is involved with FADH2, AND ATP? 

FADH2 --> SUCCINATE DEHYDROGENASE

ATP --> SUCCINYL COA SYNTHETASE

400

What are the stimulator and inhibitor for each pathway? 

ATP PC System --> Stimulator (ADP) Inhibitor (ATP)

Glycolysis --> Stimulator (AMP, ADP, P, high pH) Inhibitor (ATP, CP, CITRATE, pH decreases)

Krebs Cycle --> Stimulator (ADP, CA+, NAD+) Inhibitor (ATP, PI)

ETC --> Stimulator (ADP, PI) Inhibitor (ATP)

400

What does 1 cycle produce in Krebs Cycle? How many direct ATP and how many indirect ATP if each glucose generates 2 turns? 

1 cycle

  • 3 NADH

  • 1 FADH

  • 1 ATP

6 NADH = 15 ATP (INDIRECT)

2 FADH2 = 3 ATP (INDIRECT) 

2 DIRECT ATP --> SUCCINYL COA SYNTHETASE RXN 

= 20 ATP

500

What is the energy investment phase and what is the energy generation phase? 

  • Energy investment phase (Lose 2 ATP)

    • involves the investment of two ATP molecules and results in the formation of two molecules of glyceraldehyde phosphate.

  • Energy Generation phase (Gain 2 or 3 ATP if you use glycogen)

    • Energy is extracted from the molecule and stored in the form of NADH and ATP.

    • 4 ATP produced

    • 2 NADH produced (Go to ETC)

    • 2 pyruvate or 2 lactate

  • Net Production

    • 1 glucose → 2 pyruvate or 2 lactate

    • 2 ADP → 2 ATP

    • 2 NAD+ → 2 NADH

500

What happens in the cytochrome oxidase? 

  • ETC is a series of oxidation-reduction reactions

    • NADH is oxidized to NAD+

    • FADH2 is oxidized to FAD

  • H+ are pumped across inner mitochondrial membrane into intermembrane space

    • Creates electrochemical gradient because H+ ions wants to re-enter

  • When 2 H+ flow back in cytochrome oxidase it transfers them to one O2 molecule

  •  ATP synthase uses the electrochemical gradient making H2O

500

What are the rate limiting enzymes for each pathway? 

ATP PC System --> creatine kinase
