| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| To remove hydrogen atoms from organic molecules and transfer them to coenzymes is a function of ? | the citric acid cycle |
| _____ are organic molecules that must bind to the active site of an enzyme before it can function | coenzymes |
| Within the mitochondria, hydrogen atoms are used to generate ATP through the process of ___ | oxidative phosphorylation |
| ____refers to the transfer of electrons | oxidation |
| ______ refers to the attachment of a high-energy phosphate group to ADP, producing ATP. | phosphorylation |
| what produces roughly 95 percent of the ATP used by body cells? | oxidative phosphorylation |
| ____ is a sequence of proteins called cytochromes that are embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane | electron transport system |
| the diffusion of hydrogen ions back into the matrix through special membrane channels powers the production of ATP by the enzyme ___ | ATP synthase |
| Coenzymes deliver hydrogen atoms from the citric acid cycle to the ETS is a characteristic of ____ | oxidative phosphorylation |
| Which is the common substrate for mitochondria in the citric acid cycle? | acetate |
| ____ is the synthesis of glucose from smaller carbon chains | gluconeogenesis |
| the____ is key to the cells survival because it contains the organic materials required for both anabolism and catabolism | nutrient pool |
| ____ store triglycerides and glycogen reserves. If absorption by the digestive tract fails to maintain normal nutrient levels, the triglycerides and glycogen are broken down and the ___ and ___ are released | liver cells, fatty acids, glucose |
| ____ convert excess fatty acids to triglycerides for storage. If absorption by the digestive tract and reserves in the liver fail to maintain normal nutrient levels, the triglycerides are broken down and the ___ are released | adipocytes, fatty acids |
| ____ metabolize fatty acids at rest and use glucose reserves. ____ are used to increase the number of myofibrils. | skeletal muscles, amino acids |
| If the digestive tract, adipocytes, and liver are unable to maintain normal nutrient levels, the _____ can be broken down and amino acids released into the circulation for use by other tissues. | contractile protiens |
| ____ requires a continuous supply of glucose. During starvation, ____ shift to fatty acid or amino acid catabolism, conserving glucose for neural tissue | neural tissue, other tissues |
| fatty acids can be stored as ____ | triglycerides |
| stored triglycerides can be broken down into ____ | fatty acids |
| in ____ glycogen is synthesized from glucose | glycogenesis |
| ___ is the release of glucose from glycogen | glycogenolysis |
| the breakdown of a _____ releases glycerol and acetylCoA suitable for use by mitochondria | fatty acid |
| glucose breakdown into two three-carbon molecules/chains | glycolysis |
| in starvation, the proteins of ____ are mobilized, releasing amino acids that can be catabolized by other tissues | muscle tissue |
| ____ is a enzyme that breaks down complex carbohydrates into a mixture of disaccharides and trisaccharides | salivary amylase |
| Most of the nutrients absorbed by the digestive tract end up at the ______, in which nutrients are absorbed as needed to maintain normal levels in the systemic circuit. | liver |
| When chyme arrives in the duodenum, CCK release triggers the secretion of which enzyme? | pancreatic alpha-amylase |
| the arrival of chyme containing large amounts of carbohydrates triggers the release of ____, which stimulates insulin release by the pancreas | GIP "gastric inhibitory peptide" |
| In most tissues, the transport of glucose into the cell is dependent on the presence of a carrier protein that is stimulated by ? | insulin |
| The 6-carbon glucose molecule is broken down into two 3-carbon molecules of pyruvate. This anaerobic process is called __ , and yields a net gain of __ ATP for every glucose molecule broken down | glycolysis, 2 |
| For each pair of pyruvate molecules catabolized, the cell gains ___ ATP | 34 |
