Study Notes
Citric Acid Cycle
- Oxaloacetate is the first and last molecule in the citric acid cycle
Kinase
- Kinase is an enzyme that adds a phosphate group to a molecule, often activating it
Glycolysis
- The first step of glycolysis uses one ATP molecule to phosphorylate glucose, converting it into glucose-6-phosphate
Fatty Acid Metabolism
- Fatty acids can be used to produce energy by conversion to acetyl-CoA in the mitochondria of the cell
Gluconeogenesis
- Gluconeogenesis is the process of generating glucose from non-carbohydrate sources, such as amino acids and lactate
Fermentation
- Pyruvate is converted to generate lactic acid and lactic acid can be converted back into pyruvate during fermentation
- The fermentation product produced in an anaerobic muscle cell is lactic acid
Glycolysis Energy Yield
- Glycolysis requires a total of 2 ATP with a net gain of 2 ATP and 2 NADH molecules
Energy Generation in Animal Cells
- Glucose is the food molecule whose breakdown generates most energy in animal cells through glycolysis
Citric Acid Cycle Products
- The major products of the citric acid cycle are ATP, NADH, and FADH2
