Study Notes
Glycogenesis: Formation of Glycogen
- Glycogenesis is a four-step process that converts glucose into glycogen.
- Step 1: Isomerization of glucose-6-phosphate to glucose-1-phosphate, catalyzed by phosphoglucomutase.
- Glucose + ATP → glucose-6-phosphate → glucose-1-phosphate.
Step 2: Formation of UDP-Glucose
- Reaction of glucose-1-phosphate with uridine triphosphate (UTP) to form UDP-glucose.
- Glucose-1-phosphate + UTP → UDP-glucose + pyrophosphate (PP).
Step 3: Formation of Glycosidic Bond
- Growing the glycogen chain by attaching UDP-glucose to an existing glycogen chain, releasing UDP.
- This reaction is catalyzed by glycogen synthase, the key regulatory enzyme of glycogenesis.
Step 4: Branching of Glycogen
- Glycogen chains grow as glycogen synthase adds glucose residues, producing additional branches.
Glycogenolysis: Breakdown of Glycogen
- Glycogenolysis is a process that breaks down glycogen to release energy in between meals or after glucose depletion.
- Step 1: Breakdown of glycogen into glucose-1-phosphate by phosphorolysis.
Cellular Respiration
- Cellular respiration is the process of generating energy for the cell through the breakdown of glucose.
Glycolysis
- Glycolysis is the first step of cellular respiration, converting glucose into pyruvate.
- One molecule of glucose is broken down to form two molecules of pyruvic acid.
- Occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell.
- Produces a net gain of 2 ATP per molecule of glucose.
- Glucose + 2ADP + 2Pi + 2 NAD + → 2 pyruvate + 2ATP + 2 NADH.
Pyruvate Oxidation
- Pyruvate oxidation is the conversion of pyruvate into acetyl-CoA.
- Occurs in the mitochondrial matrix.
- 2 pyruvate + 2 NAD+ + 2 CoA → 2 acetyl-CoA + 2 NADH + 2H+ + 2CO2.
Krebs Cycle (Citric Acid Cycle)
- The Krebs cycle is the second stage of cellular respiration, converting acetyl-CoA into carbon dioxide.
- Occurs in the mitochondria.
- For each turn of the cycle, 3 molecules of carbon dioxide are produced, and 5 pairs of hydrogen atoms are removed.
- Forms (per two molecules of pyruvic acid) carbon dioxide, two ATP molecules, 6 NADH molecules, and 2 FADH2 molecules.
- Oxaloacetate + acetyl-CoA + ADP + Pi + 3 NAD+ + FAD → CoA + ATP + 3NADH + 3H+ + FADH2 + 2CO2 + Oxaloacetate.
Electron Transport Chain (ETC)
- The electron transport chain is the third stage of cellular respiration, generating ATP from the energy released during the transfer of electrons.
- Occurs in the cristae of the mitochondria.
- The electrons in NADH and FADH2 flow through a series of electron transport acceptors, generating ATP.
- Most of the ATP produced during cellular respiration is made during this stage.
- ATP is made by adding inorganic phosphate to ADP.
