Cards

Term
Catabolism
Definition
Breakdwn of complex molecules
Term
Catabolism produces
Definition
energy= ATP
Term
Anabolism
Definition
biosynthesis; req energy
Term
Amphibolic
Definition
can be both catabolic and anabolic.
Term
Metabolic Pathways is a
Definition
Series of sequential reactions
Term
Not all chemical reactions are favorable, so how does an organism do them? How does this work?
Definition
Couple unfavorable and favorable reactions.
Drives overall equilibrium forward
Term
metabolic pathways are --catalyzed including:
Definition
enzyme
Includes substrates, intermediates, products
Term
Enzyme are --catalysts which means
Definition
Biocatalysts
Protein or RNA (ribozyme such as viroids)
Term
enzymes -- activation energy which is
Definition
Lower activation energy
Barrier between substrates and products
Speeds of rxn
Term
some enzymes req: -- which can be -- or --
Definition
cofactors
Metals (inorganic)
Coenzymes (organic)
Term
ex of Metal cofactor
Definition
Mg2+. Zn 2+, Fe-S clusters
Term
ex of coenzymes
Definition
Vitamin B12
Term
ex of both genomic RNA and catalytic RNA
Definition
viroid- plant disease
Term
3 types of metabolic pathways
Definition
linear
branched
cyclical
Term
linear metabolic pathway-
Definition
- point A to point B, no diversions, one way street. Start substrates, intermediates, and then final product.
Term
ex of linear metabolic pathway-
Definition
Stage 2 of glycolisis is a linear pathway everything goes forward.
Term
Branched
Definition
Different directions a single pathway can go
Term
Branched metabolic pathway ex:
Definition
- glycosis stage 1. Glycolysis as a whole is a branched pathway
Term
branched pathway microbes
Definition
clostridium perfringens fermentation, mixotricha paradoxa.
Term
Cyclic-
knocking out--
Definition
Shared intermediate between first rxn and last rxn. Knocking out the critical intermediate would turn this into a linear pathway
Term
Cyclic ex
Definition
TCA cycle.
Term
energy carrier- reducing power? example
Definition
not “reducing power”
ATP (adenosine triphosphate)
Substrate or product
Term
electron carriers- reducing power? ex:
Definition
(reducing power)
oxidized NAD+/ reduced NADH
NADP+/NADPH
FAD/FADH2
Term
oxidized/ reduced for NAD+, NADP+, FAD
Definition
NADH
NADPH
FADH2
Term
FAD/FADH2
Definition
Co factor “only” found in TCA cycle/ETC (ETS)
Term
reducing power is not-
carriers are in -- form and are the -- waiting for -- with electrons they are the -- form.
Definition
Reducing power is not ATP. Carriers are in oxidized form are on the left are the shuttle waiting for electrons_> they form the reduced forms NADH, NADPH, are similar to ATP because they are substrates or products in rxns. FAD is a cofactor and will be recycled coenzyme
Term
which nadh, nadph, fad are most similar to ATP because:
Definition
NADH, NADPH, are similar to ATP because they are substrates or products in rxns. FAD is a cofactor and will be recycled coenzyme
Term
Mg+2 is a macronutrient bc
Definition
it is always bound to ATP or ADP
Term
finish slide 8 on tegrity
Definition
Term
How do cells make ATP?
Definition
3 types of phosphorylation
Term
3 types of phosphorylation
Definition
Substrate-level phosphorylation
Oxidative phosphorylation photophosphorylation
Term
How do cells USE ATP
Definition
3 mechanisms where ATP is a substrate
Term
3 mechanisms where atp is substrate
Definition
phosphorylate
hydrolysis
hydrolysis releasing pyrophosphate
Term
ATP used to phosphorylate an--
rxn
Definition
organic molecule
ATP + glucose ↔ ADP + glucose-6-phosphate(hexokinase)
Term
ATP Hydrolysis releasing phosphate
Definition
ATP + H2O ↔ ADP + Pi (PO4-3) + 2H+
Term
ATP Hydrolysis releasing pyrophosphate
Definition
(irreversible)
ATP + H2O → AMP + PPi (P2O7-4) + 2H+
Term
ATP Hydrolysis releasing pyrophosphate used for
Definition
DNA biosynthesis, antibiotic biosynthesis
Term
reason for irreversibility of
ATP Hydrolysis releasing pyrophosphate
Definition
Irreversible bc no enzymes that do AMP-> ATP. Forces a set of rxns to go forward.
