Glycolysis
Definition
Is metabolic pathway by which glucose is converted into 2 pyruvates. Does not require oxygen. Glycolysis is exergonic produces net of 2ATPs and 2NADHs. However, glucose must be activated with 2ATPs (phosphorylation) before energy can be obtained . Phosphorylation traps glucose inside cell , So the Phosphorylated organic molecules cannot cross the cell membrane Net equation= glucose + 2NAD + 2ADP + 2Pi > 2 pyruvates + 2NADH+2ATP
Term
Lactic acid pathway
Definition
To avoid end-product inhibition NADHs produced in glycolysis need to give H+s away.
Term

Definition
In absence of Oxygen 2NADH gives its Hs to pyruvate creating lactic acid. Makes muscles feel fatigued. Only yields a net gain of 2 ATPs per glucose. RBCs don’t have mitochondria; use only lactic acid pathway. Occurs in skeletal and heart muscle when oxygen supply falls below critical level. During heavy exercise or vascular blockage.

(The production)For osmotic reasons cells can’t store many free glucose, Instead store glucose as glycogen. Skeletal muscle and liver store lots of glycogen.
Term
Glycogenolysis
Definition
-(Breakdown) clips glucose out of glycogen as glucose 6-phosphate .Phosphate groups trap molecules in cells.
Term
Gluconeogenesis
Definition
Some skeletal muscle lactic acid goes to liver . Where it is converted back through pyruvate to glucose and glycogengy. Also can happen with amino acids and glycerol. Allows for depleted stores of glycogen in the muscle to be stored in 48 hours
Term
Aerobic Respiration
Definition
Begins when pyruvate formed by glycolysis enters mitochondria CO 2 is clipped off pyruvate forming acetyl CoA (coenzyme A is a carrier for acetic acid) CO 2 goes to lungs. Energy in acetyl CoA is extracted during aerobic respiration in mitochondria. Pyruvic+ coenzyme A > acetyl coenzyme A
Term
Krebs cycle
Definition
Begins with acetyl CoA combining with oxaloacetic acid to form citric acid. In a series of reactions citric acid converted back to oxaloacetic acid to complete the pathway. NADH and FADH2 carry electrons to the electron transport chain. Every glucose turns the Krebs cycle 2times.
Produces 1 ATP, 3 NADH, and 1 FADH 2 in one turn of the Krebs cycle
Produces 2 ATP, 6 NADH, and 2 FADH2 in two turns of the Krebs cycle
Term
Electron Transport Chain
Definition
is a linked series of proteins on the cristae of mitochondria. NADH and FADH 2 from Krebs carry electrons to ETC .Which are then shuttled in sequence through ETC . NAD and FAD are regenerated to shuttle more electrons from Krebs Cycle to ETC. Electrons added to beginning of ETC are passed along until reach end. Have to be given away or would stop ETC O 2accepts these electrons and combines with 4H+s O 2+4e- +4H+ >2H20
Term
Oxidative phosphorylation
Definition
As each protein in ETC accepts electrons it is reduced When it gives electrons to next protein it is oxidized . This process is exergonic Energy is used to phosphorylate ADP to make ATP.
Term
Chemiosmotic theory
Definition
Energy gathered by ETC is used to pump H+s into mitochondrial outer chamber Creating high H+ concentrationthere concentration there . As H+s diffuse down concentration and charge gradient thru ATP synthase, and back into inner chamber, their energy drives ATP synthesis.
Term
ATP Formation
Definition
ATPcanbemade2ways:
Direct(substrate-level) phosphorylation .Where ATP is generated when bonds break Both ATPs in glycolysis made this way. 2 ATPs/glucose in Krebs made this way
Oxidative phosphorylation in Kreb’s. Where ATP generated by ETC 30-32 ATPs made this way.3H+spassthruATPsynthasetogenerate1ATP . 3H+s pass thru ATP synthase to generate 1 ATP . This yields 36-38 ATPs/glucose . However some of these are used to pump ATPs out of mitochondria .So net yield is 30-32 ATPs/glucose . Really takes 4H+s to generate 1 exported ATP. 2.5 ATP produced for each pair of electrons NADH donates 1.5 ATP produced for each pair of electrons FADH 2 donates .Net of 26 ATP produced in ETC. 26 ATP produced in ETC 2 from glycolysis 2 from direct phosphorylation in Krebs For total of 30 ATPs for each glucose
