Anaerobic Glycolysis

        Help!  

Question
Answer
The ratio of what molecule determines the fate of pyruvate in the cell?   NADH/NAD+  
🗑
How many electrons do NADH and FADH2 each carry?   2 electrons  
🗑
What vitamin do we eat to supply our bodies with NAD+?   Niacin = Vitamin B3  
🗑
What vitamin do we eat to supply our bodies with FAD?   Riboflavin = Vitamin B2  
🗑
When converting pyruvate to lactate is 2 NADH or 2 NAD+ generated?   2 NAD+  
🗑
What happens to the concentration of NADH if oxygen concentration is low?   NADH builds up in the cell because it can not donate its protons  
🗑
What happens to the NAD+ formed when pyruvate is converted lactate?   It is used in glycolysis  
🗑
Which tissues are capable of anaerobic glycolysis and produce lactate?   Red blood cells, muscles, liver, brain, and adipose  
🗑
What is the purpose of making lactate?   Reduction of pyruvate to lactate produces 2 NAD+ molecules that are used to keep glycolysis going under anaerobic conditions  
🗑
What enzyme catalyzes the reaction from pyruvate to lactate?   Lactate dehydrogenase  
🗑
In yeast, is lactate formed from pyruvate?   No. Yeast ferments glucose to ethanol and CO2.  
🗑
In fermentation, does conversion of acetylaldehyde to ethanol produce 2 NAD+ or 2 NADH?   2 NAD+  
🗑
In fermentation, what happens to the 2 NAD+ generated during the production of ethanol?   Reduction of acetylaldehyde to ethanol produces 2 NAD+ molecules that are used to keep glycolysis going under anaerobic conditions  
🗑
Can amino acids be used for energy in the absence of oxygen?   No. Amino acids are ultimately converted to Acetyl-CoA, which can not be used in the krebs cycle in anaerobic conditions  
🗑
Can fatty acids be used for energy in the absence of oxygen?   No. Fatty acids are converted to Acetyl-CoA which can't be used in the krebs cycle in anaerobic conditions  
🗑
Which tissues can use the lactate taken up from the blood as a carbon source in aerobic conditions?   Muscle, liver, brain, and red blood cells  
🗑
Draw lactic acid   CH3-OH-CH-COOH  
🗑
What happens to the pH of the surrounding solution if lactic acid is increased?   pH decreases: the solution ibecomes more acidic  
🗑
Is PFK-1 positively or negatively regulated by low pH?   PFK-1 is negatively regulated by high H+(low pH)  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
