ketosis
if glucose isn't high enough your body will build up this in blood
Lactic acid fermentation occurs when . . .
can't get enough O2 to cells - nowhere to put the hydrogens so they give them back (changed) to pyruvate acid
protein synthesis takes place in the ______________ state of metabolism
absorptive
Why does glycolysis not require oxygen
Glycolysis is anaerobic.
What takes place in the Electron Transport Chain
a series of oxidations/reductions as the hydrogens are passed from one intermediate compound to another
In the _____________________- state of metabolism, focus becomes energy conservation and efficiency
post-absorptive
Oxidation-Reduction (Redox Reactions)
Adding O2, removing H - (molecule is oxidized, then you remove H) - Can't do one without the other.

nitrogenous waste

post-absorptive
What moves on to the next pathway, the Krebs Cycle, following glycolysis
2 Pyruvate
beta oxidation
In order to have the use of fatty acids for energy you need to run fats through this to produce ketones
Your BMR (basal metabolic rate) is determined by
size, age, sex, stress, nutritional state
increases in nitrogenous wastes makes you prone to
gout
What skips the Krebs Cycle and goes on to the electron transport chain
2 Reduced co-enzymes
How many Krebs Cycles are there from one pyruvate acid
2 Kreb Cycles
Acid fermentation is a form of ___________ respiration and where might it occur in our body
anaerobic respiration and our muscle cells can get energy from acid fermentation for a short amount of time
If you don't have O2 available, where can you get some ATP
Glycolysis
Metabolism
all chemical reactions performed by cells
What is also known as the Citric Acid Cycle
The Krebs Cycle
Two metabolic states are
absorptive and post-absorptive
lipolysis takes place in the ________________________ state of metabolism
post-absorptive
NAD and FAD
Co-enzymes that act as hydrogen carriers. Allow compunds to be oxidized by accepting the Hydrogen (thereby being reduced)
In the ____________ state, nutrients are actively being absorbed from the GI tract
absorptive
How many ATP is produced for every molecule
2 ATP are produced
What is produced by the Krebs Cycle
Produces CO2, ATP and reduced co-enzymes
glucose sparing is when
glucose must remain available to rbc's, brain cells.
Anabolism
synthesis metabolic reactions - building bigger from smaller molecules, requires energy input/ endergonic
What is immediately used by the cell following glycolysis
2 ATPS
amino acids are proteins for
energy
glycogenesis
creation of glycogen (other metabolic reaction) - where glucose is turned into glycogen
lipogenesis
creation of triglycerides (fat-- fatty acids and glycerol) - move out of bloodstream to store in adipose tissue
basal metabolic rate is how much energy you expend ...
simply keeping yourself alive
BMR=
basal metabolic rate
How much glucose is lost as heat in cellular respiration?
60%
Equation for Cellular respiration
=C6 H12 O6 (Glucose) + 6O2 Oxygen gas)+ (30 different reactions) + 6CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) + 6H2O (Metabolic Water) + ATPs (Energy) =(heat)
Where does glycolysis occur
occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell
At several places along the way on the Electron Transport Chain, what is released to be able to phosphorylate an ADP?
Enough Energy is released ( E+ P+ ADP --> ATP)
What are the products of glycolysis
Products are 2 pyruvic acids, 2 ATPs and 2 reduced co-enzymes
What forms bigger ATP providing more energy, glycolysis, kreb cycle or ETC
ETC
What are the products of the Kreb Cycle
some carbon dioxide, 1 ATP, 3 NADH2, 1FADH2 times (x) 2 (Remember there are two cycles from that 1 glucose molecule)
transanimation
takes place in liver - turning one amino acid into a different amino acid to use for energy
Catabolism
decomposition metabolic reactions - exergonic-- on nutrients we bring in
In the ______________ state, cells are "flooded" with nutrients and have everything they need
absorptive
Alcohol fermentation is another form of ____________respiration
anaerobic -- occurs when oxygen is not present
cells stop working if you run out of
glucose
in the ___________________-- state, glucose sparing takes place
post-absorptive
the metabolic rate is measured in
heat production or oxygen consumption
List 3 Chemical Pathways of Metabolism
1. Glycolosis 2. Krebs Cycle 3. Electron Transport Chain
If you are malnourished your basal metabolic rate (BMR) will go _____________ due to your nutritional state
down
oxidative deamination
takes place in liver - getting rid of ammonia to use for energy resulting in nitrogenous waste in urine
Describe how pyruvate is modified to Acetyl CoA
The CO2 is knocked off the pyruvate and ????? then the CoA "escorts" the acetyl group in to the Kreb Cycle and then goes back for another acetyl CoA.
gluconeogenesis
formation of glucose from nonCHO source
What is the intermediate compound in the ????
glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate G3P or PGAL
When you are making as many proteins as you can while you have the proteins you need in the absorptive state is called
protein synthesis
In the ____________________ state of metabolism, nutrients are no longer being absorbed and you must live on in the blood and stored away
post-absorptive
In the ________________ state, cells use what they need for energy, for protein synthesis, etc., and store away the rest
absorptive
heat production and oxygen consumption are both indirect measurements of
measurments of ATP production
The post-absorptive state is controlled/stimulated by
glucagon
alcohol fermentation is by
yeast cells
What must be modified before it can enter the Kreb's Cycle and what is it modified into
the pyruvate is modified to Acetyl CoA
What does the Electron Transport Chain produce
Produces lots of ATP (about 30-32) and water
lipolysis
breakdown of triglycerides (move out of tissue into blood)
Anaerobic respiration occurs when . . .
oxygen is not present, or by organisms that don't use it.
lipogenesis takes place in the _______________ state of metabolism
absorptive
The rate of energy expenditure of the body is the
metabolic rate
What is at the end of the electron transport chain and what does it form with the hydrogen that is passed
an atom of oxygen is at the end of the chain and it gets together with the hydrogen atoms that have lost their electrons forming water
gluconeogenesis takes place in the __________________ state of metabolism
post-absorptive
How much of the energy in the glucose molecule is ultimately transferred to the ATP
40%
What is passed in the Electron Transport Chain so that a little bit of energy can be released along the way
Hydrogen is passed in the electron transport chain
skeletal muscle at rest prefers. . .
fatty acids
The absorptive state is controlled/stimulated by
insulin
Why are the products of the Kreb Cycle, including the reduced co-enzymes likened to poker chips that need to be taken to the window to be cashed in
Because, like poker chips, products of Kreb cycle have no value until you cash them in in the Electron Transport Chain
The antagonist to insulin is
glucagon
glycogenolysis
breaking of glycogen back down (conversion) to glucose
glycogenesis takes place in the ______________ state of metabolism
