Question
Answer
shape of detergent molecule   cone  
🗑
shape of membrane lipid   cylinder  
🗑
when a lipid bilayer is torn it does not seal by forming a hemi micelle cap because   membrane lipids are cylindrical  
🗑
why do lipid bilayers form?   lipids point inside to lower the energy  
🗑
two membrane lipid backbones   glycerol or sphingosine  
🗑
where does one find sphingolipids?   neuronal cells  
🗑
are negatively charged membrane lipids found inside or outside of cells?   inside  
🗑
3 structural components of membrane lipids   fatty acyl tails, backbone (sphingosine/glycerol), head group (may be charged)/phosphate  
🗑
how are membrane lipids classified?   1) spingosine/glycerol 2) head group; charged/uncharged? 3) phosphate or no phosphate  
🗑
3 classes of membrane lipids   cholesterol, glycophospholipids, sphingolipids  
🗑
2 negatively charged glycerophospholipid head groups   inositol, serine  
🗑
lipid rafts   regions of more sphingolipids/cholesterol found on the outside of the membrane  
🗑
rotational diffusion   membrane lipid spins  
🗑
translational diffusion   membrane lipid moves around  
🗑
transmembrane diffusion   membrane lipid "flips"  
🗑
phospholipid crucial in intracellular signaling is   phosphatidylinositol  
🗑
flippase   outer to inner translocation  
🗑
floppase   inner to outer translocation  
🗑
scramblase   moves lipids toward equilibrium w/ the concentration gradient  
🗑
Phosphatidylserine, normally found primarily only in the cytoplasmic side of the plasma membrane, is found at high levels on outer side in apoptotic cells; why?   the phospholipid translocators are inactivated  
🗑
cholesterol is essential for lipid raft formation because   sphingolipids have large head groups  
🗑
the mass ratio of lipids to proteins in membranes   varies widely in different membranes  
🗑
3 classes of membrane proteins   lipid anchored, peripheral, integral  
🗑
which class of membrane proteins can be removed w/ salt or urea?   peripheral membrane proteins  
🗑
constitutive membrane protein   always part of the membrane  
🗑
amphitrophic membrane protein   regulated (sometimes expressed, sometimes not)  
🗑
The forces that hold a membrane protein in the lipid bilayer and those that lead to protein folding into their tertiary structure   both involve the minimization of the interact of hydrophobic R groups w/ the aqueous environment  
🗑
hydropathy plot of hydrophobic alpha helices   one high region of hydrophobicity  
🗑
hydropathy plot of amphipathic alpha helices   stays about static b/c hydrophobic and hydrophilic  
🗑
why does a hydrophobic alpha helix only span once?   to minimize interactions w/ the lipid bilayer (must be hydrophobic on all sides)  
🗑
advantage of using amphipathic alpha helices for channel   polar inside, hydrophobic outside  
🗑
how do mild detergents isolate membrane proteins?   hydrophobic ends stick to it to maintain its shape  
🗑
A bacterial small protein causes red blood cell lysis. It also make artificial liposomes very permeable; it is likely   a B barrel protein that forms a pore  
🗑
transporter vs channel   channel= goes right through; transporter= binds the solute  
🗑
Na/K atpase   3Na+ flow out; 2K+ flow in (against gradient)  
🗑
If the plasma membrane becomes permeable to Na+ and K+, the Na+/K+ pump would   continue to pump ions and to hydrolyze ATP, but only generate heat in the process.  
🗑
Secondary Active Transport   uses energy source indirectly  
🗑
glucose transport into blood   Na/glucose cotransporter; glut-2; na/k atpase  
🗑
Warburg Effect   upregulated lactate production; down regulated acetyl coA production  
🗑
2 examples of normal cells undergoing warburg effect   early embryogenesis (1st 3 cell divisions); astrocytes/neurons  
🗑
neurons convert ___ to ___   glutamine to glutamate  
🗑
astrocytes convert ___ to ____   glutamate to glutamine  
🗑
3 main types of metabolic pathways   anabolic, catabolic, amphibolic  
🗑
three main "energy currency" molecules   ATP, NADH, acetyl coA  
🗑
why is ATP-> ADP + Pi so negative?   pH of cells (neutral)  
🗑
ΔG'° vs. ΔG   ΔG depends on temperature and concentrations  
🗑
when would a rxn with ΔG'° that is positive still proceed?   high concentration of reactants  
🗑
ΔE'°=   E'° (electron acceptor) + E'° (electron donor)  
🗑
E'° (electron acceptor)   more positive  
🗑
E'° (electron donator)   more negative (think NADH or FADH-> NAD+ or FAD+)  
🗑
For ATP hydrolysis, ATP ADP + Pi, what is the effect of changing the reaction conditions from standard chemical conditions to biochemical standard conditions on ΔG of the reaction?   The ΔG of the reaction will be more negative at a given ADP/ATP ratio.  
🗑
a ΔE ̊’ that is favorable (-ΔG ̊’) is   positive  
🗑
The structure of NAD+ does not include   a flavin nucleotide  
🗑
Glycolysis occurs in essentially all cells because   it evolved in an ancestor common to nearly all cells present on earth today.  
🗑
In the breakdown of what you had for breakfast, the stage that generated the most ATP is   oxidative phosphorylation  
🗑
The purpose of phosphorylation of glucose to glucose 6-phosphate by the enzyme hexokinase as the first step in glycolysis is   to help keep glucose in the cytoplasm  
🗑
The conversion of 1 mol of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate to 2 mol of pyruvate by the glycolytic pathway results in a net formation of   2 mol of NADH and 4 mol of ATP  
🗑
what happens to NADH in anaerobic tissues?   it's used up to make lactate  
🗑
The lipid bilayer of biological membranes   is self sealing in an aqueous environment  
🗑
Membrane lipids are classified   first by backbone and second by head group.  
🗑
Amphipathic α-helical structures   can form a hydrophilic pore within a lipid bilayer  
🗑
A hydropathy plot indicates   a stretch of amino acids forming a single-pass transmembrane domain  
🗑
Sodium (Na+) transport across a membrane   uses ~30% of the ATP hydrolyzed in mammalian cells

🗑
NAD+ carries   only one hydride anion (1 H+ and 2 e-s)  
🗑
metabolism   consists of metabolic pathways that are linear, cyclic and spiral  
🗑
Anabolic and catabolic pathways are related by   anabolic pathways synthesizing more complex organic molecules using the energy derived from catabolic pathways  
🗑
Energy requiring metabolic pathways that yield complex molecules from simpler precursors are   anabolic  
🗑
Life is thermodynamically possible because living cells   release heat to the environment  
🗑
If you mixed succinate, fumarate, FAD, and FADH2 together, all at l M concentrations and in the presence of succinate dehydrogenase, which of the following would happen initially?   Fumarate would become reduced, FADH2 would become oxidized.  
🗑
The most important reaction involved in the reoxidation of NADH is:   pyruvate → lactate  
🗑
The anaerobic conversion of 1 mol of glucose to 2 mol of lactate by fermentation is accompanied by a net gain of   2 mol of ATP (2 used up; NADH converted back to NAD+)
