Pyruvate Metabolism
P. 154
Pyruvate can be metabolized into four compounds. Name them.

Alanine carries nitrogen groups from muscles to liver.
How many ATP equivilnets are there between glucose and pyruvate?
6
Where is Oxaloacetate used?
Oxaloacetate and Acetyl-CoA are both elements of the TCA cycle. Oxaloacetate can alos be used in gluconeogenesis

Trick question. None. Alanine is the only pyruvate product that does not require energy.
Cori Cycle

How many ATPs do cells get burning glucose to pyruvate?
2
How may ATP does it take to get glucose from pyruvate in the liver?

Electron Transport Chain and Oxidative Phosphyrylation
P. 155
What does the electron transport chain do?
The ETC carries high energy electrons from NADH and FADH2 to oxegen
How does this generate ATP?
Each cytochrome complex pumps H+ into the intermembrane space. ATP generation is coupled to the H+ gradient
Where are these enzymes located?
The inner mitochondrial membrane
What is the effect of ETC inhibitors?
By stopping the ETC they cuase the loss of the H+ gradient, which stops ATP syntesis
Name four ETC inhibitors.
Cyanide, Anitmycin A, rotenone, and CO
What is the effect of ATPase inhibitors?
By stopping the enzyme that uses the H+ gradient to produce ATP, the H+ gradient increases and the ETC stops.
Name one.
Oligomycin
What are the effects of uncoupling agonist?
They increase membrnae permeabliity, so you lose the H+ gradient, so the ETC works harder, and you use more oxegen, wihtout making more ATP.
What are the clinical comsequences of this?
Since the by-product of the ETC chain is heat, when the ETC is uncoupled and therefore unregulated, you get excess heat production and fever.
What common drug overdose causes this?
