|
Mitochondria Makeup |
- outer membrane - inner membrane (extensively folded to increase surface area) - intermembrane space (between outer and inner membrane) - Matrix (inside intermembrane) -has its own DNA (mtDNA) passed from mother to daughter, mother to son (not father) |
|
Endothermic/Endergonic/Anabolic |
Requires energy, absorbs energy into chemical bonds |
|
Exothermic/Exergonic/Catabolic |
Does work, releases energy from chemical bonds |
|
ATP Cycle |
1. Simple molecules: glucose, amino acids, glycerol, fatty acids
2. anabolic reactions combine simple mol. to form complex mol. this requires energy from ATP (stores in bonds) 3. Complex Molecules: Glycogen, Proteins, Triglycerides 4. Catabolic Reactions break complex mol. to form simple mol. this releases the energy stored in bonds (and repeats the process) |
|
Burning Vs. Metabolism |
Both have the same goal, released energy is stored as ATP therefore allowing the building of complex molecules In burning, all energy is released in one step. In metabolism, energy is released in small, controlled steps. - most energy is captured and stored in ATP - Uncaptured is released as heat - works better in the body (we don't explode) |
|
How does each system interact to maintain energy homeostasis |
- Digestive: absorbs nutrients - Respiratory: brings O2 in and blows CO2 out - Circulatory: carries nutrients and O2 to cells, waste, and CO2 away - Excretory: Rids body of waste |
|

Step 1: Glycosis |
In cytosol - splits glucose - energy investment phase: requires 2 ATP - Energy payoff phase: generates 4 ATP - Produces: 2 ATP (net), 2 pyruvic acids, 4 protons (H+), and 4 Electrons (e-) |
|
Inputs of Glycosis |
1 glucose, 2 ATP, 2 NAD+, 2 inorganic phosphates (PO4-3 or Pi) |
|
Products of Glycolysis |
4 ATP, 2 NADH, 2 Pyruvate (glucose is destroyed) |
|

|
Aerobic vs. Anaerobic |
Need O2 to continue - aerobic resp. - 30-32 ATP No O2? - anaerobic Resp. - process stops, dead end |
|
Step 2: Acetyl CoA Formation |
In mitochondrial Matrix - starts with pyruvic acid - requires: CoA and O2 - produces: 1 Acetyl CoA, 1CO2, 2 NADH + 2H+ |
|
If O2 is not present in Step 2... |
Pyruvate becomes lactate |
|
Acetyl CoA Formation Description |
The acetyl group binds to coenzyme A with a disulfide linkage the hydrogen attached to NAD+ and the proton go to the electron transport chain CoA delivers and releases the two-carbon acetyl group to the citric acid cycle and can then be reused |
|
Step 3: Citric Acid Cycle |
In mitochondrial Matrix - starts with acetyl CoA - CoA is reused in step 2 - produces (per "turn"): 2 CO2, 3 NADH + 3H+, 1 FADH2, 1 ATP - produces (per glucose): 4 CO2, 6 NADH + 6H+, 2FADH2, 2 ATP |
|
Step 4: Electron Transport Chain |
In mitochondria, transmembrane enzymes on inner membrane - NADH+H+ and NADH2 bring protons and electrons - electrons stripped from protons, play hide-and-seek - protons pumped into intermembrane space, run-down concentration gradient, drive ATP production - 22-23 ATP produced (depending on efficiency) |
|
Cellular Respiration - Summary |
-Starts with glucose in cytosol - glycolysis splits glucose into 2 pyruvic acids - if no O2, pyruvic acids to lactic acids, dead end - if O2, onto next step - C removed from each pyruvic acid to make 2 acetyl groups attach to CoA, form 2 Acetyl CoA - CoA delivers acetyl groups to citric acid cycle, acetyl groups taken apart - NAD and FAD+ capture/carry H+ and e- from each step to electron chain H+ and e- moved around to drive ATP production |
|
Glycogen as Energy Storage |
Long, branching chains of glucose - glucose quick/easy in, quick/easy out, readily available - mostly stored in liver and muscle (70-100g/280-400cal and 200-400g/800-1600cal respectively) |
|
Lipids as Energy Storage |
Excess glucose and fats are stored as triglycerides - break down the triglycerides to use glucose for ATP - Ketones and acids made as by-products (can result in ketoacidosis) |
|
Gluconeogenesis |
"create new glucose" - glucose from a fat or protein source (not carbs) - gluconeogenesis is essentially glycolysis in reverse (we take 2 and 3 carbon molecules and build a 6 carbon glucose out of them) |
|
Cytoskeleton |
Structure for the cell |
|
Three sizes of structural proteins |
1. Microfilaments (actin, smallest, 7 nm, two wound strands) 2. Intermediate filaments (keratin, vimetin, neurofilaments, lamins, many more, 8-12 nm, several wound strands, one of several proteins) 3. Microtubules (tublin plus microtubule-associated proteins aka MAPs, largest 25 nm, hollow) |
|
Microtubules |
Important in cell division - two proteins joined together into a dimer (alpha tublin and Beta tublin) - the tublin dimers are then assembled into a hollow tube about 25 nm in diameter (40,000 of these would fit side by side on the milimeter marking of a ruler) - the microtubule is stabilized by the addition of microtubule associated proteins (typically, they are assembled at the other |
|
Centrosome |
Centrosomes are the heart of a spindle apparatus - root from which microtubules grow - microtubule organizing center (MTOC) - 2 centrioles + pericentriolar material - the spindle app. is the spiky cluster of microtubules that is essential for the separation of genetic material (chromosomes) during cell division |
|
Intermediate Filaments |
Made from a wide variety of proteins (keratin in skin cells etc..)
|
|
Microfilaments |
Actin Filaments - actin filaments consist of single actin molecules twisted together into a double strand (filaments actin, f-actin) Microvilli have a core of microfilaments - stable structures on the surface of cells are supported by the cytoskeleton - microvilli on the surface of intestinal cells |
|
Microvilli |
Absorptive cells need lots of surface area - many finger-like projections called microvilli - each actin microfilament core |
|
Cilia |
One of two kinds of motile extensions on the surface of the cells - hair-like extensions on the cell surface - move fluids across the surface of a cell fixed in place as part of an epithelium tissue - lots of human cells have cilia - rowing motion (power stroke and return stroke) |
|
Flagella |
One of two kinds of motile extensions on the surface of the cells - used to move the cell through a fluid environment - only the human sperm has a flagellum - common in pathogenic organisms (clostridium salmonella, giardia) - wavelike whipping |
|
Flagella and Cilia |
Both have same basic microtubule structure - at base, 9 triplets - in body, 9 doubles and two central singles Only difference - one moves and one stays put |
|
The Spliceosome |
Edits RNA - for a loop of unwanted RNA (intron) and then cut it out, splicing together the cut ends - this creates the final form of mRNA (exons) |
|
Ribosomes |
Site of protein synthesis - two subunits join to form ribosome (6OS and 4OS) - shape essential to proper function in making proteins - found in cell either attached to surface of rough ER or as free ribosomes in cytoplasm |
|
Endoplasmic Reticulum |
Membranes inside (endo-) the cell cytoplasm forming a complex network (reticulum) - two varieties, rough and smooth |
|
Smooth ER |
1. Lipid synthesis 2. toxin and cellular component processing 3. calcium storage (in muscle) |
|
Rough ER |
"rough" due to the presence of ribosomes site of protein synthesis when the proteins are - being exported from cell by exocytosis - being inserted into cell mem. (e.g. by cell markers) - being packaged inside lysosomes |
|
Golgi Complex
|
Finish proteins made in the RER - cis (entry) face - trans (exit) face - cisternae (sing. cisterna) in between Proteins enter the cis face, process through Golgi, exit trans face in secretory vesicles, ready for export - Golgi complex looks a bit like prof Golgi's moustache |
|
The Endomembrane System |
Taken together, these organelles form a continuous synthetic pathway from nuclear genetic code (DNA) to the three fates of exported proteins - DNA transcribed into RNA in the nucleus - RNA edited to mRNA in the spliceosome - mRNA translated into protein in the RER - Protein transferred to Golgi apparatus and packaged, where it takes one of three pathways (secretory vesicle, lysosome, protein inserted into membrane) |
|
Storage and Digestion Organelles |
Keep potentially toxic substances and enzymes away from the other cell components - this usually means enclosing the dangerous substance in a membrane - secretory - droplets for storage of lipids |
|
Storage Organelle |
Some types of SER |
|
Digestive Organelle(s) |
Lysosomes Peroxisomes Proteasomes |
|
Lysosomes |
Membrane-bound - contain oxidases - cells "garbage can" Have an acid pH - this is maintained by proton (H+) pumps that concentrate H+ ions about 100x - pH inside is 5; pH of cytoplasm is 7.4 - Contain enzymes that work best at acid pH - break down most proteins and other substances if they are dangerous or no longer needed |
|
Peroxisomes |
Membrane-bound - contain oxidases - make H2O2, B-oxidize fatty acids - Contain a crystalline core which is a collection of enzymes - surrounded by a membrane so it doesn't damage the cell |
|
Proteasomes |
Break down foreign, mis-folded, or temporary proteins - Digestive organelles that breaks down proteins that are no longer needed - defective protein is "grabbed" by a complex called ubiquitin - ubiquitin is the "hand" that feeds the protein into the top of the "protein shredder" - amino acids come out the bottom end of the shredder |
|
Peroxisomes Contain... |
hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) - Makes free radical oxygen which is highly reactive with many substances - these are especially useful for breaking down lipids - an enzyme called catalase breaks down 2H2O2 into 2H2O and O |
