Instructions for Side by Side Printing
  1. Print the notecards
  2. Fold each page in half along the solid vertical line
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal dotted line
  4. Optional: Glue, tape or staple the ends of each notecard together
  1. Verify Front of pages is selected for Viewing and print the front of the notecards
  2. Select Back of pages for Viewing and print the back of the notecards
    NOTE: Since the back of the pages are printed in reverse order (last page is printed first), keep the pages in the same order as they were after Step 1. Also, be sure to feed the pages in the same direction as you did in Step 1.
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal and vertical dotted line

BCH 100: Lecture 12 Bioenergetics

front 1

What is a chemotroph?

back 1

AN organism that gets its energy from oxidation of carbon fuel

front 2

What is the energy currency of life? And what is it formed by?

back 2

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is formed by the oxidation of carbon fuels

front 3

Metabolic pathways are ______ regulated

back 3

Highly

front 4

What does catabolism make?

back 4

ATP and reducing equivalents like NADH, FADH2, etc.

front 5

What does anabolism use?

back 5

ATP and reductive power

front 6

What is metabolic homeostasis?

back 6

The control and regulation of the amount of enzymes present, enzymatic catalytic activity and substrate accessibility

front 7

2 Hormones control metabolism. What are they and what does each do?

back 7

When there is excess glucose in the blood, insulin is released to bring the glucose levels down. While glucagon is released when glucose levels in the blood are low and help raise the blood glucose level.

front 8

What does epinephrine do?

back 8

-It prepares muscles, heart and lungs for flight/fright/fight/ intercourse

-Breaks down sugars for immediate energy production as ATP

front 9

What is coupling?

back 9

Coupling is pairing a thermodynamically unfavorable pathway with a thermodynamically favorable pathway to make a favorable reaction. (-) is favorable!!

front 10

Review Reaction Coupling ATP with ATP Hydrolysis

back 10

Look at notes and rewrite it!

front 11

What is ATP? What is it made from and what is it used to do?

back 11

A source of potential energy. It is made from catabolic reactions and used to drive anabolic reactions

front 12

Is ATP endergonic or exergonic?

back 12

Exergonic

front 13

What is ATP, ADP, and AMP held together by?

back 13

High energy, unstable phosphoanhydride bonds

front 14

Define Phosphoryl-transfer potential.

back 14

The tendency of organic molecules to transfer a phosphoryl group to an acceptor molecule. (ex: how much you want to get rid of a phosphate)

front 15

ATP has a high phosphoryl transfer potential because______

back 15

Of charge repulsion, resonance stabilization, and stabilization by hydration

front 16

Review Other Energy Sources

back 16

Slide 18

front 17

How to calculate Calories. How many Calories are there is a food has

-0g of trans fat

-100g of cholesterol

-14g of carbohydrates

-1g of protein

back 17

Fats => (0*9)= 0

Carbohydrates => (14*4)=56

Proteins => (1*4)=4

---------------

Total=60 Calories

-Cholesterol is not included!!!

front 18

What is a cofactor? Give one example.

back 18

A non protein substance that interacts with the enzyme and aids in catalysis (Mg 2+, CU 2+, FE 2+, Co 2+)

front 19

What is a coenzyme? Are they regenerated after a reaction?

back 19

An organic cofactor that is regenerated after a reaction

front 20

What is Vitamin B9: Folic Acid?

back 20

A prenatal vitamin essential to making DNA. Important to intake as gummies to prevent birth defects in babies

front 21

Practice the Mechanism for NAD and FAD

back 21
