Front (Question)

enzyme

Back (Answer)

speeds up reaction by lowering activation energy. • does not get used up • cannot make unfavorable reaction favorable.

Front (Question)

Michaelis Menten equation

Back (Answer)

V= (Vmax * S)/km+S S= substrate concentration V = rate of reaction (enzyme productivity) km = constant Vmax = constant

Front (Question)

Glucose

Back (Answer)

C6H12O6 Has 4 chiral centers and 16 isomers. Functional group: Aldehyde

Front (Question)

Left sided glucose isomer

Back (Answer)

Hydroxyl group bottom Carbon on left side, Hydrogen on Right Not used in lhuman body

Front (Question)

metabolic pathways of glucose

Back (Answer)

• glycogen • glycerol (a part of fat) • pyruvate • DNA, RNA

Front (Question)

Glycolysis

Back (Answer)

breaks down glucose and forms 2 pyruvate with the production of two molecules of ATP. *one mole of glucose produces two moles of lactate *different isomers of glucose can join the pathway at different points. **in process you lose 6 H which cause acidosis. Glycolysis is anaerobic, does not use oxygen.

Front (Question)

metabolism amino acids

Back (Answer)

amino acids become proteins which can become: cell structure communication/signaling molecules enzymes

Front (Question)

metabolism carbohydrates

Back (Answer)

carbohydrates can become: structural membranes signaling molecules energy!

Front (Question)

metabolism lipids

Back (Answer)

Lipids can become: cell membranes signaling molecules energy!

#10

Front (Question)

nucleic acid

Back (Answer)

made from combination of amino acids and carbohydrates

#11

Front (Question)

Back (Answer)

The Michaelis Menten constant which shows the concentration of the substrate when the reaction velocity is equal to one half of the maximal velocity of the reaction.

#12

Front (Question)

enantiomers

Back (Answer)

two stereoisomers that are mirror images of each other but not superimposable.

#13

Front (Question)

pyruvate

Back (Answer)

Formed from glucose through glycolysis. Can become protein or become Acetyl-CoA and go through Krebs cycle.

#14

Front (Question)

Fructose

Back (Answer)

C6H12O6 3 chiral carbons 8 isomers Functional group: ketone

#15

Front (Question)

Back (Answer)

glucose

#16

Front (Question)

Back (Answer)

Mannose

#17

Front (Question)

Back (Answer)

galactose

#18

Front (Question)

Back (Answer)

ribose

#19

Front (Question)

How many ATP from glucose?

Back (Answer)

Glycolysis only: 2 glycolysis, electron transport chain, and krebs: 34-36

#20

Front (Question)

Things that can leave TCA cycle at any time:

Back (Answer)

Glutamate fatty acids purines heme pyrimidines

#21

Front (Question)

glucose calorie content

Back (Answer)

386 (kcal/mol)/ 180 (g/mole) = 3.8 kcal/g

#22

Front (Question)

Palmitate (fat) calorie count.

Back (Answer)

9 kcal/g

#23

Front (Question)

Respiratory exchange Quotient (ratio)

Back (Answer)

Ratio between the amount of CO2 produced from metabolism and the amount of O2 used. *diet of pure carbs (glucose)- 6/6 = 1.0 Every O2 in = 1 CO2 out *diet of pure protein (palmitate) 16/23 = 0.7 every O2 in = 0.7 CO2 out

#24

Front (Question)

mRNA

Back (Answer)

messenger RNA Brings the info from the DNA to the ribosome. It is the long chain that forms after the DNA splits. Ends with AAAA chain.
