BIOL1007 Lecture Notes - Lecture 10: Triglyceride, Glycerol, Electrochemical Gradient
Document Summary
Also did notes on this lec but ofc it disappeared as well. Specialised molecules interact w fules using enzymes, to rip out hydrogen and electrons, the fuel olecules then dismantle into 2 carbons (acidic acid)-co-ennzme 8 carrying acitate around. Beta-oxidation, glycosis, sevral pathways are groups of enzymes choreographed for hydrogen and elctorn stripping. 2 carbon atoms as acitate come out as carbon dioxide, totally oxidized. When hydrogen nd electrons ripped out so al atoms become co2 and fully oxidized. Special molecules needed to rip out electrons- nadh and. Fadh, interact w fules and rip out h/e. Fuels having h/e ripped out and all carbon atoms becoming co2. h/e are carried by. N and f to beginning of elctron transport chain, as they are moving down to oxygen cause proton pumps to throw proton out of matrix of mitochondria into matrix, this causes protein gradient to generate atp.
