REVIEW
What is the function of the leader sequence?
To determine where the newly translated protein will go. Srp
signal recognition proteins find the correct leader sequences.
Where are membrane proteins and secreted proteins
synthesizes?
Er
Where are metabolism enzymes sent?
Mitochondria or peroxisomes
Where are dna binding proteins sent?
The nucleus
What are the post translational events
Leader sequence binds so folding and modifications can occur
then the proteins are transported off of er to move to the golgi
to be further packaged
,What is metabolism?
All the chemical reactions that occur in your body (not bmr!
Basal metabolic rate...
What is catabolism?
The breakdown of one molecule to smaller molecules (yields
energy)
What is anabolism?
The formation of large molecules from smaller molecules
(requires energy)
What is the basal metabolic rate?
The energy required to run your metabolism at rest
What are the two ways atp can be synthesized?
Substrate level phosphorylation
Oxidative phosphorylation
,Which form of atp synthesis requires the electron transport
chain and oxygen
Oxidative phosphorylation
What is atp hydrolysis
The removal of a phosphate group from atp to produce adp and
energy
In substrate-level phosphorylation where does 40% of the
energy go?
Lost as heat
What is substrate level phosphorylation?
Direct transfer of a phosphate group from a previously
phosphorylated compound to a molecule of adp
What are two examples of substrate level phosphorylation?
Glycolysis
Phosphocreatine adds phosphate to adp by creatine kinase
What is the function of phosphocreatine?
, Serves as a reserve of high energy phosphates in the muscle
during rapid consumption of atp (only last for like 10 seconds
sprinting) to provide time for the body to start cranking out atp
What is the equation for creatine kinase reaction?
Phosphocreatine + adp -> creatine + atp
What is the result of the glucose molecule at the end of
glycolysis
2 pyruvate molecules
What is the net gain from glycolysis?
2 atp
2 nadh
2 h+
What is the major site of energy production?
Mitochondria
What is the linking step
