FOOD20003 Lecture Notes - Lecture 13: Citric Acid Cycle, Anabolism, Ribose
Document Summary
Mitochondria are energy producing unit in cells with a folded inner membrane surface an compartments. The cytoplasm in cell contains no oxygen - initial stages of cellular respiration occurs the and is therefore anaerobic. Once initial breakdown products of carbs, plus fatty acids and amino acids enter oxygen environment of the mitochondria, high levels of energy are released by the aerobic proc involves the tca cycle and the electron transport chain. The breakdown of energy containing molecules = catabolism. Synthesis of fat molecules from breakdown of products when energy surplus occurs = anabolism. Cell structure and function s and interactions ace and fluid filled s there (glycolysis) ygen rich process. First stage for energy metabolism for carbs is in cytoplasm - glycolysis. Mitochondria: folded membrane structures containing enzymes involved in tricarboxyli. Metabolism refers to all chemical reactions occurring in living cells. Where the body uses energy from the food we eat it is called specifically "energy metab.
