two closely parallel pathways‚ where if both Glycolysis and Gluconeogenesis happen at the same exact moment‚ ‚ the net result would be the hydrolysis of four nucleotide triphosphates (two ATP plus two GTP) per reaction cycle. However‚ this non reciprocal regulation is a futile cycle‚ which would simply waste ATP if allowed to run freely. In reciprocal regulation‚ the amounts and activities of the distinctive enzymes of each pathway are

synthesis of NADH. Its rate is slowed by a high [ATP]/[ADP] ratio. 4. When a muscle is stimulated to contract aerobically‚ less lactic acid is formed than when it contracts anaerobically because: a) b) c) d) glycolysis does not occur to significant extent under aerobic conditions. muscle is metabolically less active under aerobic than anaerobic conditions. the lactic acid generated is rapidly incorporated into lipids under aerobic conditions. under aerobic conditions in muscle‚ the major energy-yielding

produced by the body as a product of a metabolic pathway (eg ammonia as a result of deamination of amino acids)‚ or they may have entered the body from an external source. Ethanol (Alcohol) is a toxin that is quite commonly and regularly consumed by individuals‚ yet it contains a lot of potential energy when converted to Acetyl CoA. This is an essential component of the Kreb’s (citric acid) cycle and the synthesis of ATP. Alcohol is an open-chain (aliphatic) compound‚ and dissolves easily in water

C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O → 12H2O + 6 CO2 The energy released is trapped in the form of ATP for use by all the energy-consuming activities of the cell. The process occurs in two phases: glycolysis‚ the breakdown of glucose to pyruvic acid the complete oxidation of pyruvic acid to carbon dioxide and water In eukaryotes‚ glycolysis occurs in the cytosol. (Link to a discussion of glycolysis). The remaining processes take place in mitochondria. Mitochondria Mitochondria are membrane-enclosed organelles

to produce high energy adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecules. This procedure is carried out by every cell in both plants and animals and is essential for everyday living. There are three main stages to cellular respiration – glycolysis‚ the citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain. Glycolysis means “sugar splitting” and takes place within the cytosol of a cell and can continue in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Glycolysis is able to produce energy in the absence of oxygen‚ however

When pyruvic acid is changed to acetyl co-A‚ is it being oxidized or reduced? 8. Summarize all of the important products (and their quantities) yielded after one pyruvic acid molecule “leaves” glycolysis and goes through the acetyl co-A formation stage. 9. What is another name for the Krebs cycle? Citric acid cycle 10. How is the

monoglycerides‚ and triglycerides are all types of lipids. Triglycerides are a main form of energy for both plants and animals. Triglycerides are broken down into 3 fatty acid chains. Each fatty acid chain is further broken down into multiple groups of Acetyl CoA. Acetyl CoA molecules go through the citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain. 12 ATP are formed from each Acetyl CoA molecule. Carbon chains that are saturated with hydrogen atoms Chains are straight and can pack tightly
