Document Summary
Lecture 15 - carb metabolism: other sugars, fermentation, acetyl-coa formation and the citric acid cycle. 12. 7 (only figure 12. 19 - key point: sugars other than glucose can be used), intro to. 13. 1 (skip discovery of the citric acid cycle ), 13. 2 (read only overview of pyruvate oxidation and the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex ), 13. 3, and 13. 4: list other carbohydrate sources that animals can metabolize. (sec. 12. 7: identify the three fates of pyruvate. (sec. 12. 3: summarize what happens during fermentation. (sec. 12. 3: summarize the 3 stages of respiration (oxidative metabolism). (sec. 13. 1: summarize the chemical strategy of the citric acid cycle. (sec. 13. 1: summarize how many atps and reduced electron carriers are formed during pyruvate oxidation and the citric acid cycle. (sec. Gluconeogenesis: synthesis of glucose from pyruvate (formation of glucose from non-cho precursors) = anabolic. Occurs in most organisms vertebrate animals (e. g. humans) only carried out in the liver (and kidney) cells.
