TCA (Tricarboxylic acid) cycle and Citric Acid cycle
What are other names for the Kreb's cycle
100
final pathway in energy metabolism that transports electrons form hydrogen to oxygen and captures the energy released in the bonds of ATP
What is the electron transport chain (respiratory chain)
100
the metabolic breakdown of fatty acids to acetyl CoA
What is fatty acid oxidation (beta oxidation)
200
series of chemical reactions occurring in a cell
What is a metabolic pathway
200
The hydrolysis of ATP occurs simultaneously with reactions that will use energy
What are coupled reactions
200
respiratory chain
What is another name for the electron transport chain
200
the pathway in which glucose is metabolized to lactate in the muscle, lactate is converted back to glucose in the liver and then glucose is returned to the muscle
What is the Cori cycle
200
these little "guys" pass the electrons down from "guy" to "guy" all the while hydrogen ions are pumped across the inner membrane of the mitochondria
What are the proteins of the electron transport chain, called "electron carriers"
300
small molecules put together to build larger ones
What is anabolism
300
enzyme facilitator (not a protein)
What is a coenzyme
300
an important metabolic intermediate formed by the breakdown of glucose, fatty acids and some amino acids. Its synthesis requires coenzyme A derived from pantothenic acid and acetic acid
What is Acetyl CoA
300
a 4-C intermediate of the TCA cycle
What is oxaloacetate
300
can be synthesized from all three energy-yielding nutrients
What is acetyl CoA
400
energy is released during this process of large molecules being broken down into smaller ones
What is catabolism
400
CoA is derived from this
What is panthothenic acid
400
the 1st pathway of glucose
What is glycolysis (glucose to pyruvate)
400
the site of fatty acid oxidation
What is the mitochondria
400
oxygen is used in the electron transport chain here
What is the very end!
500
the site of glycolysis
What is the cytosol
500
2 pyruvates
What is how many molecules from one glucose
500
3-C compound that plays a key role in energy metabolism
What is pyruvate
500
amino acids that can make glucose via either pyruvate or TAC cycle intermediates
What is glucogenic
500
used to supply some of the fuel needed by the brain only after the body has been fasting fro a while
