BIOL 1080 Lecture 18: The Energy Distribution System
Document Summary
Biol*1080-01: energy = the ability to do work, ***rockstar sugar-free energy drink. Sugar-free = no calories = no atp! Technically no energy: adenosine triphosphate: the energy currency of the cell. For cellular movement / molecular synthesis / transportations across membranes. We inherit a set of genes to be able to store a set amount of atp in our bodies! In fact - pharmaceuticals want to make it even less efficient! To use more energy for same amount of work! (look at diagram for atp pathway description!) -> note: o2 = final e- acceptor: quick facts. Glucose & fatty acid metabolism generate most of atp (amino acids = less) Some atp = from glycolysis & krebs cycle. Glycolysis, beta oxidation and krebs cycle --> make reducing equivalents!!! (nadh/fadh2) They supply h+ and e- to the electron transport chain (where most atp is produced): anaerobic atp production. Pcr + adp + h+ --> atp + cr (creatine kinase = enzyme)
