Study Notes
Amino Acid Transdeamination
- The transdeamination of amino acids produces ammonia and an alpha-keto acid.
Cellular Location of Metabolic Pathways
- Glycolysis takes place in the cytosol.
- The TCA (Citric Acid) cycle occurs in the mitochondria.
- The Electron Transport Chain (ETC) is located in the mitochondrial inner membrane.
Aerobic Glycolysis
- Aerobic glycolysis occurs in certain tissues, such as muscle, brain, and macrophages.
- This process is also known as the "Warburg effect".
Function of Aerobic Glycolysis
- The function of aerobic glycolysis is to provide energy for the cell, even in the presence of oxygen.
The Link Reaction
- The Link reaction (also known as the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex) connects glycolysis to the Citric Acid cycle.
- It converts pyruvate into acetyl-CoA, which then enters the TCA cycle.
