Study Notes
Metabolism
- In the aerobic metabolism of glucose, oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor.
- The process of forming mRNA is called transcription.
Enzyme & Substrate
- In the reaction A+B ' C+D, A and B are the reactants.
- Metabolism refers to the total chemical reactions occurring within an organism.
- Enzymes are a type of membrane protein that bind to molecules and facilitate entry or exit from the cell.
- In the reaction : CO2 + H2O öcarbonicanhydraseöcarbonicanhydrase H2CO3
- The role of carbonic anhydrase is an enzyme.
- The role of CO2 and H2O are substrates.
- The role of H2CO3 is a product.
Allosteric Modulation
- An allosteric modulator binds to a region of the enzyme other than the active site.
Cellular Processes
- High concentrations of ATP inhibit the action of phosphofructokinase, the third enzyme of glycolysis, illustrating feedback inhibition.
- Aerobic metabolism requires oxygen and produces more ATP per glucose than anaerobic pathways.
- The energy to power the addition of a high-energy phosphate group to an ADP molecule by ATP synthase comes from H+ ions.
Glycolysis, Citric Acid Cycle, and Electron Transport Chain
- Acetyl-CoA is a key intermediate of glucose catabolism that enters the citric acid cycle.
- The potential yield of ATP molecules for each FADH2 molecule entering the electron transport system is 3.
- For each mitochondrial NADH that moves through the electron transport system, there is no potential yield of ATP molecules.
Other Key Facts
- Six glucose molecules catabolized completely by glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and the electron transport chain produce 6 CO2 molecules.
- Most enzymes are proteins.
- Many vitamins are precursors for coenzymes like NAD and FAD, which are necessary for metabolic reactions and pathways.
- Enzymes increase the rate of chemical reactions.
- An enzyme that transfers phosphates from ATP to a substrate molecule is called a kinase.
Membrane Transporters
- A voltage-gated channel is a type of membrane transporter that is activated by a change in ion concentration.
- When an enzyme's activity is inactivated due to heat or a change in pH, the enzyme is said to be denatured.
- The template strand of DNA serves as a guide for mRNA synthesis.
