| Question | Answer |
| Polysaccharide metabolism | amylase breaks down starch into maltose and glucose; maltase breaks down maltose; blood glucose regulation; carbohydrate consumption |
| amylase in the saliva breaks down _____ into... | starch (polysaccharide) into maltose (disaccharide) and glucose (monosaccharide) |
| maltase in the _____ breaks down _____ | small intestine; maltose |
| high blood glucose | insulin is released; insulin links glucose molecules into the storage form glycogen (polysaccharide) |
| low blood glucose | glucagon is released; breaks glycogen back into glucose |
| carbohydrate consumption | brain uses 5-6 g of glucose/hour; total amount in 150 lb person is 20 g; total glycogen content is 200 g (lasts about one day) |
| four phases of cellular respiration | glycolysis, preparatory reaction, Kreb's cycle, and electron transport chain |
| glycolysis | activates and splits 6-carbon glucose into 2 3-carbon pyruvates |
| preparatory reaction | 3-carbon pyruvate loses CO2 to become 2-carbon acetyl attached to CoA (a carrier molecule) |
| Kreb's cycle | acetyl is completely oxidized to 2 CO2s to generate NADH, FADH2, and ATP |
| electron transport chain | NADH and FADH2 are used to generate ATP |
| NADH used in | respiration (like NADPH) |
| NADPH used in | photosynthesis |
| NADH | stores high-energy electrons but is more stable (but not as stable as sugars) |
| NADPH is usually involved in | building up (anabolic processes) |
| NADH is usually involved in | breaking down (catabolic processes) |
| FADH2 | between NADH and NADPH in stability; it transfers its electrons to the electron transport at a different location than NADH |
| Coenzyme A (CoA) | good biological "handle" for carrying 2-carbon units |
| Glycolysis | outside of mitchondria |
| glucose is too stable to break down easily so... | 1st step is to "charge" the glucose with 2 phosphates, one at either end; 2 ATP must be used up; this is an energy investment |
| the activated 6-carbon glucose is broken into | 2 activated 3-carbon PGALs |
| both PGALs then give up high-energy electrons to become | pyruvates....this oxidation yields 2 ATPs each and 1 NADH each; investment=2 ATPs; yield=4ATPs and 2 NADHs; NADHs now carry the electons; pyruvate is carried through both mitochondrial membranes into the matrix space |
| preparatory reaction (in mitochondrial matrix) | 3-carbon pyruvate loses CO2 to become 2-carbon acetyl; acetyl is attached to CoA; 2 NADH are produced (one per each pyruvate) |
| Kreb's cycle (citric acid cycle) | 2-carbon acetyl is transferred to 4-carbon unit(oxaloacetate) to give 6-carbon unit(citrate); 2 carbons are oxidized off, 1 at a time, to CO2; each cycle adds 2 carbons and burns off 2; these carbons give up their electrons to make 1ATP, 1 FADH2 and 3NADH |
| handout | electron transport chain |
| electron transport chain: NADH gives its electrons to... | the NADH dehydrogenase complex - one proton is pumped out of the matrix |
| electron transport chain: the NADH dehydrogenase complex passes the electrons to the... | cytochrome b-c complex - a second photon is pumped out of the matrix |
| electron transport chain: the cytochrome b-c complex passes the electrons to the... | cytochrome oxidase complex - a third proton is pumped out of the matrix |
| electron transport chain: 3 H+s are pumped out of the... | matrix |
| electron transport chain: 3 ATPs are made as the H+s rush back into the matrix through the... | ATP synthase |
| electron transport chain: so every 1 NADH yields... | 3 ATPs |
| FADH2 | gives its electrons to the chain one step later; only pumps 2 H+s; 2 ATPs are made as the H+s rush back into the matrix through ATP synthase |
| the electrons, drained of all the energy that they received from photosynthesis, are finally transferred to | O2 (O2--->H2O) |
| Kreb's cycle is aerobic or anaerobic? | aerobic (needs O2) |
| Kreb's cycle: | If there is no O2, then the electrons must be passed off to something else. Some bacteria can use S--->H2S. Humans must bypass Kreb's and produce lactic acid (makes muscles burn) |
| Kreb's cycle continued: | Plants only produce oxygen when they're storing energy as sugar. They must also use O2 for respiration just like us. |
