Document Summary

It takes place in the cytoplasm and ends up with pyruvate. The pyruvate then gets shut off in the mitochondria where it is further oxidized to acetyl coenzyme a (2 carbon compound) and that is the compound that it used in the citric acid cycle. Citric acid cycle: (don"t have to memorize the name of the given compounds for the exams, it is more about the principle of the cycle) And that completes the oxidation of glucose because now, all the 6 carbon atoms of glucose are converted to carbon dioxide. The enzyme that do that, that catalyzes those reactions are called dehydrogenases (because they remove one hydrogen atom, a proton and an electron). Those are oxidation reactions that are coupled with reduction of nad+. We get 3nadh, 1fadh2 and 1 gtp (which is converted to atp, no energy required) Citric acid cycle completely oxidizes the 2-c acetyl group to 2 co2 with dehydrogenases.

1. Integrated metabolism

A. A molecule of glucose that you eat can eventually be transformed into part of a fatty acid that you store. Circle the pathways/cycles below that are part of this overall flow of carbon atoms. Cross out any that are not.

Gluconeogenesis, beta-oxidation, citric acid cycle, glycolysis, urea cycle, fatty acid synthesis

B. Trace the metabolic path of this glucose molecule through the enzymes it encounters along the way to being made into fat. Write all the enzymes in the list below into the proper places in the figure below. If the enzyme is not used, write its name in a ânot used" column. If it is used, write the enzyme in the order that the carbon atoms from glucose encounter the enzymes.

Pyruvate dehydrogenase, fumarase, aldolase, lactate dehydrogenase, pyruvate kinase, acetyl CoA carboxylase, fatty acid synthase, hexokinase, carnitine acyltransferase, ATP synthase

Question 50

Glucose is necessary for fatty acid oxidation because...

		it is needed to convert fatty acids to fatty acyl-CoA which in turn is oxidized to acetyl CoA
		glucose is decarboxylated into cytochrome oxidase which is a necessary intermediate in the citric acid cycle

Question 51

In aerobic ATP production, the role of oxygen is to...

		to keep the electron transport chain operational
		to accept electrons from the 3rd cytochrome and thereby oxidizing it so it can accept new electrons

		all of the above
