BCMB 3100 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Van Der Waals Force, Thiamine, Oxaloacetic Acid
Document Summary
Test 3 study guide: diagram a eukaryotic cell and represent where the following reactions take place: glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, pyruvate acetyl coa, citric acid cycle, fatty acid synthesis and degradation. Gluconeogenesis: mitochondria and cytoplasm pyruvate acetyl coa: mitochondrial matrix. Fatty acid synthesis: cytoplasm (of liver and fat cells) Fatty acid degradation: outer mitochondrial membrane and mitochondrial matrix. Atp synthesis: inner mitochondrial membrane: summarize the main goals of pyruvate acetyl-coa and the citric acid cycle; including serving as source of biosynthetic precursors. Pyruvate acetyl coa, pyruvate decarboxylation, links glycolysis to the citric acid cycle. The pdh complex facilitates this and creates acetyl coa (biosynthetic precursor) needed for the citric acid cycle. In the citric acid cycle, oxaloacetate is made which can be used in gluconeogenesis to make glucose. *harvesting energy: explain the cause of beriberi and wernicke-korsakoff syndrome. Beriberi and wk syndrome are caused by vitamin b (thiamine) deficiency. Heavy drinking that leads to poor nutrition can cause vitamin b deficiency.
