    Study Notes

    Metabolism of Carbohydrates, Lipids, and Proteins

    • Cofactors, such as iron, zinc, copper, magnesium, calcium, and potassium, are needed to complete the shape of a binding site in enzymes.
    • Nonprotein organic substances called coenzymes, often derived from vitamins, can also act as cofactors.
    • Metabolic pathways are complex series of biochemical steps that must occur in a particular sequence, with each step involving a specific enzyme.
    • Carbohydrate metabolism is used to provide energy for various metabolic functions and can be obtained from the diet or through the breakdown of glycogen, glycerol, or propionate.
    • Anaerobic respiration, also known as glycolysis, is the process by which glucose is converted to pyruvate in the cytosol without requiring oxygen.
    • Pyruvate is further degraded in the mitochondria as part of aerobic respiration, also known as cellular respiration, which produces ATP for the cell.
    • Cellular respiration occurs in two stages: the Kreb's Cycle (Citric Acid Cycle) and the Electron Transport System.
    • The Kreb's Cycle generates energy in the form of ATP, FADH2, and NADH molecules, while CO2 is produced as a byproduct.
    • The Electron Transport System produces the majority of ATP for the cell by utilizing FADH2 and NADH.
    • Lipids are molecules composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, and are insoluble in water but dissolve easily in other lipids or organic solvents.
    • The liver is primarily responsible for lipid metabolism, including lipolysis and beta-oxidation, which converts fatty acids into acetyl-CoA or ketone bodies.
    • Proteins have various functions and structures, including structural, regulatory, contractile, transport, and storage proteins.
    • Protein metabolism involves the hydrolysis of proteins into amino acids, which are then used for protein synthesis or energy production through deamination and transamination processes.
