KINE 4010 Lecture Notes - Lecture 5: Cytochrome, Pyruvate Dehydrogenase, Pyruvic Acid
Document Summary
Kine 4010 lecture 5, wednesday, september 21, 2016. F6p normal in the cytoplasm let"s call it 8 milimoler inside the cell. And if you go up the graph and you see it is about. In the absence of adp, the reaction is going it is about 30% of the maximum. What were metabolizing in the aerobic system is largely carbohydrates and fats. Carbohydrates and fats are the energy supply for the aerobic system. The carbohydrates and fats are the substrate that are used for energy supply. Glycolysis breaks it into 3 carbon fragments glycolysis splits the into. The conversion of the 3 carbon molecules to a 2 carbon molecule and this happens in the mitochondrion. This 3 carbon molecule s pyruvate (pyruvic acid) and the enzyme that takes carbon off and makes co2 it is called (pyruvate dehydrogenase). It takes co2 off pyruvate and it makes acetyl coa.
