Metabolic pathway & Energy production
Metabolism
Chemical reactions in cells that break down or build molecules.
It produces energy and provide substances to cell growth.
Catabolic reactions:

Cell Structure
Nucleus: consists the genes that control DNA replication
and protein synthesis of the cell.
Cytoplasm: consists all the materials between nucleus and cell membrane.
Cytosol: fluid part of the cytoplasm (electrolytes and enzymes).
Mitochondria: energy producing factories.
Enzymes in matrix catalyze the oxidation of carbohydrates, fats ,
and amino acids.
Produce CO2, H2O, and energy.
ATP and Energy
- Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is produced from the oxidation of food.
- Has a high energy.
- Can be hydrolyzed and produce energy.

- We use this energy for muscle contraction, synthesis an enzyme,
send nerve signal, and transport of substances across the cell membrane.
- 1-2 million ATP molecules may be hydrolysis in one second (1 gram in our cells).
- When we eat food, catabolic reactions provide energy to recreate ATP.

Pathways for pyruvate
- Pyruvate can produce more energy.
Aerobic conditions: if we have enough oxygen.
Anaerobic conditions: if we do not have enough oxygen.
Aerobic conditions
- Pyruvate is oxidized and a C atom remove (CO2).
- Acetyl is attached to coenzyme A (CoA).
- Coenzyme NAD+ is required for oxidation.

Important intermediate product
in metabolism.
Anaerobic conditions
- When we exercise, the O2 stored in our muscle cells is used.
- Pyruvate is reduced to lactate.
- Accumulation of lactate causes the muscles to tire and sore.
- Then we breathe rapidly to repay the O2.
- Most lactate is transported to liver to convert back into pyruvate.

Glycogen
- If we get excess glucose (from our diet), glucose convert to glycogen.
- It is stored in muscle and liver.
- We can use it later to convert into glucose and then energy.
- When glycogen stores are full, glucose is converted to triacylglycerols
and stored as body fat.

Step 3: Citric Acid Cycle
- Is a central pathway in metabolism.
- Uses acetyl CoA from the degradation of carbohydrates, lipids,
and proteins.
- Two CO2 are given off.
- There are four oxidation steps in the cycle provide H+ and
electrons to reduce FAD and NAD+ (FADH2 and NADH).

Ketone bodies
- If carbohydrates are not available to produce energy.
- Body breaks down body fat to fatty acids and then Acetyl CoA.
- Acetyl CoA combine together to produce ketone bodies.
- They are produced in liver.
- They are transported to cells (heart, brain, or muscle).

Ketosis (disease)
- When ketone bodies accumulate and they cannot be metabolized.
- Found in diabetes and in high diet in fat and low in carbohydrates.
- They can lower the blood pH (acidosis).
- Blood cannot carry oxygen and cause breathing difficulties.
Fatty acid synthesis
- When glycogen store is full (no more energy need).
- Excess acetyl CoA convert to 16-C fatty acid (palmitic acid) in cytosol.
- New fatty acids are attached to glycerol to make triacylglycerols.
(are stored as body fat)

Urea cycle
- Ammonium ion (NH4+) is highly toxic.
- Combines with CO2 to produce urea (excreted in urine).
- If urea is not properly excreted, BUN (Blood Urea Nitrogen) level in blood
becomes high and it build up a toxic level (renal disease).
- Protein intake must be reduced and hemodialysis may be needed.

Energy from amino acids
- C from transamination are used as intermediates of the citric acid cycle.
- amino acid with 3C: pyruvate
- amino acid with 4C: oxaloacetate
- amino acid with 5C: α-ketoglutarate
- 10% of our energy comes from amino acids.
- But, if carbohydrates and fat stores are finished, we take energy from them.
