  • What is the TCA Cycle also known as?


    Krebs Cycle

    biochemistry cycles
  • What is the importance of the TCA cycle?


    Central to oxidative metabolism and ATP synthesis

    biochemistry metabolism
  • Where does the Krebs Cycle occur?


    Exclusively in the mitochondria

    biochemistry cellular_respiration
  • What does the TCA cycle require for its process?


    Requires oxygen

    biochemistry metabolism
  • What are the starting materials for the Krebs Cycle?


    Acetyl CoA and oxaloacetate

    biochemistry metabolism
  • What is produced in the pyruvate to Acetyl CoA step?


    Produces NADH and CO2

    biochemistry metabolism
  • What complex catalyzes the conversion of pyruvate to Acetyl CoA?


    Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex

    biochemistry enzymes
  • What are the products of one TCA cycle?


    1 GTP/ATP, 3 NADH, 1 FADH2

    biochemistry metabolism
  • How many times does the TCA cycle turn per glucose molecule?


    Two times

    biochemistry metabolism
  • What does the Electron Transport Chain (ETC) do?


    Creates a proton gradient for ATP production

    biochemistry cellular_respiration
  • What does Complex 1 of the ETC do?


    Oxidizes NADH to NAD+, transfers electrons to ubiquinone (Q)

    biochemistry etc
  • What is the role of Complex 4 in the ETC?


    Transfers electrons from cytochrome C to oxygen, forming water

    biochemistry etc
  • What is the outcome of oxidative phosphorylation?


    Drives ATP synthesis via ATP synthase

    biochemistry metabolism
  • What is a potential consequence of uncoupling in the ETC?


    Proton gradients are not used for ATP generation

    biochemistry etc
  • What does cyanide do to the body?


    Inactivates cytochrome oxidase, halting ATP production

    biochemistry toxicity
  • How is the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex controlled?


    Regulated through de/-phosphorylation by kinases and phosphatases

    biochemistry regulation
  • What inhibits PDH?


    • NADH
    • Acetyl Co-A
    biochemistry pdh
  • What keeps PDH active?


    • Pyruvate
    • Insulin (inhibits PDH kinase)
    biochemistry pdh
  • What activates phosphatase in muscle to enhance PDH activity?


    • ATP
    • Calcium
    biochemistry muscle
  • What effect does insulin have on PDH regulation?


    Reduces kinase activity, enhances phosphatase effect.

    biochemistry insulin
  • What hormones interact in glycolysis and energy metabolism?


    • Glucagon
    • Epinephrine
    • Insulin
    biochemistry hormones
  • What primarily regulates the Krebs cycle?


    End-product inhibition by ATP and NADH on dehydrogenase enzymes.

    biochemistry krebs_cycle
  • What stimulates ATP production in skeletal muscle?


    Calcium levels through substrate regulation.

    biochemistry muscle
  • What does the TCA cycle serve as a hub for?


    Generating organic molecules like fatty acids and glucose.

    biochemistry tca_cycle
  • What happens to the TCA cycle during hypoxia?


    Efficiency decreases, leading to reactive oxygen species (ROS) production.

    biochemistry hypoxia
  • What is a cellular response to hypoxia?


    • Limit ATP consumption
    • Enhance anaerobic ATP production efficiency
    • Minimize oxidative stress via HIF expression
    biochemistry hypoxia
  • What does HIF1 do under low oxygen conditions?


    Acts as a transcription factor, switching on genes for survival.

    biochemistry hif1
  • What genes does HIF1 increase expression of during hypoxia?


    • Glycolytic enzymes
    • GLUT transporters
    • Pyruvate dehydrogenase kinases
    biochemistry hif1
  • How do tumors use HIF1?


    Promote survival and progression in low oxygen, making it a therapy target.

    biochemistry cancer
  • What is the reaction for converting pyruvate to acetyl-CoA?


    pyruvate + CoA + NAD → acetyl-CoA + CO₂ + NADH

    biochemistry acetyl-coa
  • Which enzyme initiates the Krebs cycle?
