#1
Front (Question)

What is metabolism

Back (Answer)

A reaction in the body that involves energy and energy transformation

#2
Front (Question)

What are the two categories of metabolism

Back (Answer)

Anabolism Catabolism

#3
Front (Question)

What is Anabolism

Back (Answer)

Construction of smaller units into larger units using ATP

#4
Front (Question)

Catabolism

Back (Answer)

Break down of complex molecules into smaller units which releases energy

#5
Front (Question)

What does OIL-RIG stand for

Back (Answer)

Oxidation Is Loss (of electrons) Reduction Is Gain (of electrons)

#6
Front (Question)

What is made in Glycolysis

Back (Answer)

2 ATP used 2 ATP net made 2 Pyruvic acid 2 NADH 2 H+

#7
Front (Question)

Anaerobic conditions cause what to happen (cori cycle)

Back (Answer)

• Pyruvic acid turns into lactate by lactate dehydrogenase which then turns into lactic acid. • This causes NADH to be oxidised for glycolysis • Lactic acid enters liver where gluconeogensis occurs to convert lactic acid into pyruvate and then into glucose This produces 2 ATP

#8
Front (Question)

What happens in Krebs cycle

Back (Answer)

Pyruvic acid leaves cytoplasm and enters matrix Acetyl coenzyme and oxaloacetate form citrate 2 cycles of Krebs occurs: Forms... 6 NADH 2 FADH 2 ATP

#9
Front (Question)

What happens in oxidative phosphorylation

Back (Answer)

Production of ATP via pairing of electron transport system with phosphorylation of ADP • Proteins pick up electrons from NADH and FADH2 and transport them along a pathway • Oxidation of NADH and FADH2 allows H+ to be used for phosphorylation of ADP to ATP • H+ is pumped into membrane, causes gradient which diffuses through ATP synthase • Production of 36 ATP molecules - 30 enter the cytoplasm

#10
Front (Question)

What is glycogenesis

Back (Answer)

Formation of glycogen from glucose

#11
Front (Question)

What is glycogenolysis

Back (Answer)

conversion of glycogen back into glucose

#12
Front (Question)

What is gluconeogensis

Back (Answer)

the production of new glucose using the lactic acid produced in the cori cycle

#13
Front (Question)

What happens if intake of food exceeds immediate need?

Back (Answer)

Glucose is converted into glycogen and stored as fat

#14
Front (Question)

What is Lipogenesis

Back (Answer)

formation of fat Usually in the adipose tissue and liver

#15
Front (Question)

What is lipolysis

Back (Answer)

break down of stored fat into glyerol + fatty acids by lipase enzymes

#16
Front (Question)

How many essential amino acids are obtained from eating food and what happens to excess amino acids

Back (Answer)

8 Converted into glucose or fat
