TCA cycle
biosci 106
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| 3 stages of Aerobic respiration | Glycolysis,TCA cycle, ETC |
| TCA cycle: | -produces NADH,FADH2,ATP,CO2 -breakdown of carbs(&lipids,protein) - |
| Yield of cycle | 2CO2+ 3NADH+FADH2+GTP |
| Steps 1-4 | -produce CO2 -high E NADH |
| steps 5-8 | -regeneration of oxaloacetate carrier -NADH,FADH2,GTP=ATP |
| Regulation | -isocitrate dehydrogenase -pyruvate dehydrogenase -pyruvate carboxylase |
| isocitrate dehydrogenase regulation | - ADP,NAD+ (+ve) -NADH2 (-ve) |
| Pyruvate dehydrogenase regulation | - ATP,NADH,Acetyl-CoA (-ve) |
| pyruvate carboxylase regeneration | -activated by increase in Acetyl-Coa |
| 2 major routes of pyruvate | -oxidation of C -conversion to starting materials for biosynthesis |
