Metabolism & ATP Cheat Sheet by rhettbro

Metabolism is the chemical reactions in the body's cells that change food into energy.

Anabolism

Building up

Glycolysis and Glucon­eog­enesis

Oxidative Phosph­ory­lation

ATP is the nucleotide known in bioche­mistry as the "­mol­ecular curren­cy" of intrac­ellular energy transfer. It provides energy for processes that build molecules and tissues, to transport molecules across the cell membrane, to facilitate enzyme activi­ties, to facilitate motion, and is the product of a few steps in metabo­lism.

ATP (Adenosine tripho­sphate) to become ADP (Adenosine diphos­phate) – one phosphate loss; then can be back to ATP again.

Happens in Glycol­ysis, is how the cell breaks down ATP the use its energy.

Lysis - is greek for "to split"

ATP hydrolysis happens after the bulk of the energy is made in oxidative phosph­ory­lation too!

ATP + H2O -> ADP + inorganic phosphate

Each 360-degree rotation of the γ subunit leads to the synthesis and release of three molecules of ATP.

in the "­loo­se" state.The protein closes up around the molecules and binds them loosely.

Alpha subunit is a regulatory subunit.
