Document Summary

Intermediates in glycolysis can be used in the synthesis of ribonucleotides and deoxyribonucleotides: nucleotides then build rna and dna. Glycolysis: oxidizing glucose to pyruvate, metabolic pathways can be studied in vitro (outside the organism, researchers found that the reactions can go on for longer than normal if inorganic phosphate is added to the mixture. In both eukaryotes and prokaryotes all 10 reactions of glycolysis occur in the cytosol: energy investment phase, glycolysis starts by using atp, not producing it. In the first step glucose is phosphorylates to form glucose-6-phosphate: the second reaction rearranges the sugar to form fructose-6-phosphate, the third reaction adds a second phosphate group, forming fructose-1, 6-biphosphate. In reactions 1-5, two atp molecules are used up before any atp is produced: energy payoff phase, reactions 6-10, the first high-energy molecules are produced in the sixth reaction, two molecules of.

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

A. citrate transport system

Question 48

Soccer (assuming field player) is a sport which is 90% aerobic.

True

False

Question 50

Glucose is necessary for fatty acid oxidation because...

		its derivative, pyruvate, is condensated with carbonic acid to form oxaloacetate, which in turn is a necessary carbon compound in the citric acid cycle
		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
		its derivative, acetyl CoA, is condensated with carbonic acid to form lactase, which in turn is a necessary carbon compound 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
		act as a oxidizing agent by accepting electrons from the electron transport chain and combining with hydrogen ions (protons)
		all of the above

Question 52

The primary purpose of the citric acid cycle is...

aerobic glycolysis

gluconeogenesis using lactate

the decarboxylation of carbon compounds to produce NADH.

the shuttling of hydrogen ions through the inner mitochondrial membrane

Question 55

Which of the following is the best predictor of marathon running performance?

	A.	Maximal rate of pyruvate oxidation
	B.	Maximal rate of lactate formation
	C.	Amount of adipose tissue triglycerides
	D.	Pre-race blood glucose concentration
