Title: Anabolic Metabolism


1
Anabolic Metabolism
  • Anabolic Metabolism, also called, Constructive
    Metabolism is all about building and storing
    supports the growth of new cells, the maintenance
    of body tissue, and the storage of energy for use
    in the future.
  • During Anabolism, small molecules are changed
    into larger, more complex molecules of
    carbohydrate, protein, and fat.
  • Real Life Example is Anabolic Steroids they
    build up the bodies muscle mass.
  • Scientific Example of Anabolic Metabolism is
    Dehydration Synthesis. It involves removing a
    molecule of water to join two smaller molecules.

Enzymes and Their Actions
  • Most enzymes are globular proteins that make
    specific chemical reactions in cells occur by
    lowering the activation energy required to start
    these reactions.
  • Enzymes can speed up metabolic reactions by a
    factor of a million or more.
  • Required in very small quantities because as they
    work they are not consumed, therefore they can
    work very rapidly.
  • Enzymes are very specific, they act only in a
    particular molecule, which is called its
    substrate.
  • Ex The substrate called catalase that is found
    in the peroxisomes of liver and kidney cells.
  • Must be able to recognize its specific substrate.
    This ability depends on the shape of the enzyme
    molecule.
  • -Enzymes polypeptide chain twists and coils in
    to a unique 3-D conformation that fits the
    particular shape of its substrate molecule.
  • Enzyme Catalysis-
  • Substrate Enzyme Enzyme substrate complex
    Product Enzyme (unchanged)

  • Some enzymes can process only a few substrate
    molecules, whereas others can handle thousands or
    nearly millions.
  • Cellular Metabolism includes hundreds of
    different chemical reactions, each controlled by
    a specific kind of enzyme.
  • Often sequences of enzyme-controlled reactions,
    called metabolic pathways, lead to synthesis or
    breakdown of particular biochemicals.
  • Hundreds of different kinds of enzymes are
    present in every cell.
  • Enzyme names are usually derived from the names
    of their substrates, with the suffix ase added.
  • Ex a lipid-splitting enzyme is called a lipase.
    Protein-splitting enzyme is a protease.

Factors that Alter Enzymes.
Since the vast majority of enzymes are proteins,
they can be altered in the same ways that
proteins can (i.e. radiation, heat, electricity,
select chemicals, acids or bases). Low
temperatures may halt enzyme activity and higher
temperatures may cause deformations in the
enzyme. Chemicals may also interrupt or damage
enzyme functions. Cyanide damages cells by
halting their energy collection activities and
ruining enzyme activity in the respiratory system
of the human body
6
Regulation of Metabolic Pathways
  • Enzymes play a major role in the control of
    metabolic pathways (especially the rate in which
    the pathway functions). Certain Regulatory
    enzymes possess limited numbers of molecules so
    high concentrations of substrates saturate the
    enzyme (which causes the reaction rate of the
    pathway to no longer be affected by the
    concentration of substrates) and thus limits the
    rate of reaction. These rate-limiting enzymes are
    always placed 1st in series of enzymes to avoid
    the accumulation of unneeded intermediate
    products.

7
Release of Chemical Energy/ ATP
Energy is the capacity to change something it is
the ability to do work
  • Release of Chemical Energy
  • Release of chemical energy in the cell often
    occurs through the oxidation of glucose. (
    oxidation- where oxygen is combined with another
    chemical.)
  • Burning glucose requires energy to begin the
    process.
  • The end-products of these reactions are heat as
    well as stored energy.

8
  • ATP
  • Up to 38 molecules of ATP are produced for each
    molecule of glucose oxidized.
  • ATP molecules contain three phosphates in a
    chain an adenine, a ribose and 3 phosphates.
  • Energy is stored in the last phosphate bond.
  • Energy from the breakdown of ATP powers cellular
    work such as Skeletal muscle contraction, active
    transport across cell membranes, secretion.
  • Energy is stored while converting ADP to ATP
    when energy is released, ATP becomes ADP, ready
    to be regenerated into ATP.

Definitions ATP/ adenosine triphosphate-organic
molecule that stores energy and releases energy,
which may be used in cellular processes ADP/
adenosine diphosphate-molecule produced when ATP
loses terminal phosphate

ANAEROBIC RESPERATION
  • Anaerobic Respiration is a part of cellular
    respiration
  • Cellular respiration is what gives cells energy.
  • Anaerobic Respiration requires other molecules
    instead of oxygen to produce energy.
  • for instance, fermentation is a form of
    anaerobic respiration.

People and animals cannot practice anaerobic
respiration.
10
WHY ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION IS IMPORTANT
  • To some organisms, the presence of oxygen is
    lethal
  • As thus, they can go through fermentation to get
    energy
  • Called obligate anaerobes
  • There are also elements that shift between both
    anaerobic and aerobic respiration

Like the flower, for instance, which uses oxygen
to produce energy, the soil that the flower is in
can not use oxygen, so instead it uses Anaerobic
respiration.
11
GLYCOLYSIS
  • The breaking of glucose
  • Breaks down the 6-carbon glucose molecule into
    3- carbon pyruvic acid molecules.
  • Does not require oxygen, so it is often referred
    to as the anaerobic phase of cellular
    respiration.
  • Occurs in the cytoplasm.
  • There are 3 main events that occur during
    glycolysis.
  • Two molecules of ATP are used to phosphorylate
    glucose and start glycolysis

Stephanie Shaffer
12
GLYCOLYSIS CONT.
  • The phosphorylated molecule is then broken down
    in a series of reactions into two three carbon
    molecules (lysis).
  • A.)Two molecules of NAD capture and are
    reduced to 2 molecules of NADH H
  • B.) Four molecules of ATP are produced.
  • The end product pyruvate may then either undergo
    areobic respiration in the mitochondria or
    anaerobic respiration (fermentation).

Aerobic Respiration
By Elisa Mejia
14
A few quick facts about Aerobic (cellular)
Respiration
      Oxygen is needed for aerobic respiration,
which occurs within the mitochondria.     
  There is a much greater gain of ATP
molecules from aerobic respiration.   
The final products of glucose oxidation are
carbon dioxide, water, and energy. All
reactions start out as anaerobic. They become
aerobic when the cell detects oxygen.
And WHERE does this happen?
.here. (the mitochondria)

(2830 kJ mol-1)
  • The 3 Main Steps of Aerobic Respiration
  • - Glycolysis- Makes 2 net ATP
  • Krebs Cycle- 2 ATP (remaining hydrogen atoms and
    their energy rich electrons
  • are removed.)
  • - Electron Transport- 32 ATP

Respiration The cellular process that releases
energy from nutrients. Aerobic Requiring
molecular oxygen.
Cellular respiration is the process in which the
chemical bonds of energy-rich molecules such as
glucose are converted into energy usable for life
processes. Oxidation of organic materialin a
bonfire, for exampleis an exothermic reaction
that releases a large amount of energy rather
quickly.
16
The Citric Acid Cycle
The citric acid cycle is a series of chemical
reactions of central importance in all living
cells that utilize oxygen as part of cellular
respiration. In aerobic organisms, the citric
acid cycle is part of a metabolic pathway
involved in the chemical conversion of
carbohydrates, fats and proteins into carbon
dioxide and water to generate a form of usable
energy.
  • The citric acid cycle begins when a 2-carbon
    acetyl CoA molecule combines with a 4-carbon
    oxaloacetic acid molecule to form the 6-carbon
    citric acid and CoA.
  • The CoA can be used again to combine with acetic
    acid to form acetyl CoA. The citric acid is
    changed through a series of reactions back into
    oxaloacetic acid. The cycle repeats as long as
    the mitochondrion receives oxygen and pryuvic
    acid.
  • The cycle has three important consequences
  • One ATP is produced directly for each citric acid
    molecule that goes through the cycle.
  • For each citric acid molecule, eight hydrogen
    atoms with high-energy electrons are transferred
    to the hydrogen carriers NAD and the related FAD
    (flavine adenine dinucleotide)
  • As the 6-carbon citric acid reacts to form the
    4-carbon oxaloacetic acid, two carbon dioxide
    molecules are produced.

Electron Transport Chain
  • Electron transport chains are associated with
    membranes, such as the mitochondrial membrane in
    eukaryotic organisms.
  • Excited electrons are brought to the electron
    transport chain by electron carriers such as NADH
    and FADH2, which are hydrogen and high energy
    electron carriers.
  • NADH and FADH2 are generated by glycolysis and
    the citric acid cycle.
  • A Series of 4 enzyme complexes carries and passes
    the electrons from one to another.
  • With each successive transfer of electrons, the
    original excited electrons lose some of their
    energy.
  • The energy lost from electrons is transferred to
    ATP synthase( an enzyme), where ADP is converted
    to ATP.

19
Electron Transport Chain
  • The final enzyme of the electron transport chain
    gives up a pair of electrons that combine with 2
    hydrogen ions and an atom of oxygen (from citric
    acid cycle) to form a water molecule.
  • Final products are ATP and H2O.

20
Cellular Respiration is the process that releases
energy from molecules such as glucose and makes
it available for cellular use
Occurs in 3 series of reactions glycolysis, the
citric acid cycle, and the electron transport
chain - products of these reactions include CO2,
H2O, and energy (38 molecules of ATP) Includes
aerobic reactions (requires oxygen) and anaerobic
reactions (doesnt require oxygen) Glycolysis-
the 6-carbon sugar glucose is broken down in the
cytosol into two 3-carbon pyruvic acid molecules
with a net gain of 2 ATP and the release of
high-energy electrons Citric Acid Cycle (Krebs
Cycle)- The 3-carbon pyruvic acids generated by
glycolysis enter the mitochondria. Each loses a
carbon (generating CO2) and is combined with a
coenzyme to form a 2-carbon acetyl coenzyme A
(acetyl CoA). More high-energy electrons
released
21
Each acetyl CoA combines with a 4-carbon
oxaloacetic acid to form the 6-carbon citric
acid. For each citric acid, a series of reactions
removes 2 carbons (generating two CO2s),
synthesizes 1 ATP, and releases more high-energy
electrons. Electron Transport Chain- the
high-energy electrons still contain most of the
chemical energy of the original glucose molecule.
Special carrier molecules bring the high-energy
electrons to a series of enzymes that convert
much of the remaining energy to more ATP
molecules. The other products are heat and water.

carbohydrate pathway
-a metabolic pathway which means it is a
sequence of enzyme controlled reactions. 1.Glycoly
sis- Glucose is broken down into 2 molecules of
pyruvic acid. This occurs in the cytosol and is
anaerobic respiration (without oxygen). 2. At
this point, depending on the amount of available
oxygen, Pyruvic acid will either be converted
into acetyl-coenzyme A or lactic acid.
Oxygen availableacetyl-coenzyme A No
oxygenlactic acid Because of the use of
oxygen, the conversion on pyruvic acid into
acetyl-coenzyme A is a aerobic respiration. 3.
Acetyl-Coenzyme A is then moved inside the
mitochondrion and then into the citric acid
cycle. 4. During the citric-acid cycle,
Acetyl-coenzyme A is converted from organic
material into ATP (usable energy).
23
Lipid Pathway
  • Lipids are organic compounds that include fats,
    oils, and fatlike substances such as
    phospholipids and cholesterol.
  • They can be used as an energy source only when
    broken down into Glycerol and Fatty Acids. The
    fatty acids can then be broken down directly to
    get energy, or can be used to make glucose.
  • Other Functions Constitutes a barrier
    for the cell
  • Controls
    membrane fluidity
  • Controls the flow of
    material in and out of the cell Body
  • The actions that occur during the lipid pathway
    take place in the mitochondria.

The Protein Pathway
  • By Heather Watson

26
Protein Pathway
  • Proteins provide a wide variety of functions for
    the cell and can be used for energy sources.
  • Depending on what food you eat depends on which
    pathway the food will take. Meat take this
    pathway.
  • To be used for energy, the nitrogen containing
    groups must be first stripped of amino acids
    (deamination). Deamination occurs in the liver.
  • The deaminated portions of the amino acids can be
    decomposed to carbon dioxide and water, and enter
    the citric acid cycle at various sites to yield
    energy.
  • Excess protein in the diet can enter anabolic
    pathways and can be converted to fat.
  • The rate of a metabolic pathway is determined by
    a regulatory enzyme responsible for one of its
    steps.
  • A rate limiting enzyme is the first step in a
    series.

27
  • The whole point of this pathway is to yield
    energy.
  • So whenever you eat a hamburger the bread will go
    down the carbo pathway and the meat will go down
    the protein pathway. While in the protein pathway
    the pathway will separate lipids from proteins.
    This is done by pyruvic acid. Without oxygen the
    pyruvic acid will be stored as fat.

28
Carbohydrate Storage sugar and starch
  • Metabolic pathways are interlinked so that
    certain molecules can enter more than one
    pathway.
  • Carb molecules from food may enter pathways that
    lead to it being used for energy or carbs may
    enter anabolic pathways and be stored.
  • Carbohydrate molecules are broken down into
    glucose molecules.
  • Excess glucose in cells may enter one of these
    anabolic pathways and be linked into storage
    forms suck as glucogen. Most cells can produce
    glycogen. The liver and blood store the greatest
    amount.
  • Glucose can react to form fat molecules, which
    are later deposited in adipose tissue (connective
    tissue that contains stored cellular fat). This
    happens if someone eats too many carbs than can
    be stored as glycogen.
  • If someone over eats too many carbs then it can
    cause weight gain.

29
Carbs continued
  • Following a meal, when blood glucose
    concentration is high, liver cells obtain glucose
    from the blood and synthesize glycogen.
  • Between meals, when blood glucose concentration
    is lower, glucose is released into the blood.
  • This action makes sure that the body has a
    continual supply of glucose to support cellular
    respiration.

Nucleotides
  • Nucleotides make up the skeleton of DNA. A
    nucleotide consists of a 5 carbon sugar
    (deoxyribose), a phosphate group, and one of many
    nitrogenous bases. DNA strands form long strands
    called polynucleotide chains by alternately
    joining their sugar and phosphate portions, which
    provides a backbone structure.
  • The nitrogenous bases project from the sugar
    phosphate backbone of one strand and bind, or
    pair, by hydrogen bonds to the nitrogenous bases
    of the second strand. The resulting formation of
    the structure is ladder-like. The two sugars
    forming the two backbones point in opposite
    directions. This is why they are called
    antiparallel.
  • In DNA nucleotides there are four bases. Adenine
    two ring structure, Thymine one ring
    structure, Guanine two ring structure, Cytosine
    one ring structure. Cytosine binds with
    Guanine. Adenine binds with Thymine. The strand
    forms a double helix. The individual DNA molecule
    may be several million base pairs long.

32
DNA Replication
Replication or the process of creating an exact
copy of DAN takes place in the interphase. Cells
must have a copy of the original cells genetic
information (DNA) so it will be able to
synthesize the proteins necessary to build
cellular parts and carry on metabolism.
Steps
  • Hydrogen bonds break between base pairs of the
    double strands.
  • Structure unwinds and pulls apart exposing
    bases. (Thymine, Adenine, Cytosine, and Guanine)
  • New nucleotide pair with the exposed bases
    forming a hydrogen bond.
  • DNA polymerace catalyzes this base pairing (not
    shown)
  • Enzymes knit together the new sugar phosphate
    backbone.
  • Two strands are made containing one strand of
    original and one new.

33
RNA Molecules
  • Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a single stranded
    nucleic acid polymer consisting of nucleotide
    monomers. RNA nucleotides contain ribose rings
    and uracil. It is transcribed from DNA by enzymes
    called RNA polymerases and further processed by
    other enzymes. RNA serves as the template of
    translation of genes into proteins, transferring
    amino acids to the ribose to form proteins, and
    also translating the transcript into proteins.
    RNA is primarily made up of four different bases
    adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil. It is
    almost always a single-stranded molecule and has
    a much shorter chain of nucleotides. Synthesis of
    RNA is usually catalyzed by an enzyme, using DNA
    as a template. Initiation of synthesis begins
    with the binding of the enzyme to a promoter
    sequence in the RNA.
  • Messenger RNA (mRNA)
  • -RNA that carries information from DNA to the
    ribosome sites of protein synthesis in the cell.
  • Transfer RNA (tRNA)
  • -Small RNA chain of about 74-93 nucleotides that
    transfers a specific amino acid to a growing
    polypeptide chain at the ribosomal site of
    protein synthesis during translation.
  • Ribosomal RNA (rRNA)
  • -Component of the ribosomes, the protein
    synthesis factories in the cell. Eukaryotic
    ribosomes contain four different rRNA molecules.
    Three of the molecules are synthesized in the
    nucleolus.
  • -Make up at least 80 of the RNA molecules found
    in a typical eukaryotic cell. Ashley Cox

34
Overview of Transcription
  • DNA consist of 4 base pairs thymine, adenine,
    cytosine, and guanine.
  • RNA consists of the same base pairs except
    instead of thymine, RNA has uracil.
  • RNA and DNA bind together. The DNA molecule
    pulls apart, and a portion of the gene is
    exposed.
  • The RNA continues move upon the DNA strand until
    it reaches a stop sign. At this point, the RNA
    strand releases the newly formed mRNA molecule
    and leaves the DNA.
  • The DNA then unwinds and resumes its
    double-helix structure.
  • The process of copying DNA info into the
    structure of an mRNA molecule is called
    transcription.

35
TRANSLATION
  • Translation is the process where the series of
    codons on mRNA are translated from the language
    of nucleic acids to the language of animo acids
    and used to assemble the protein.
  • After the mRNA leaves the cell nucleus, it
    travels to the ribosome and is there where
    translation takes place.
  • Translation consists of three steps
  • 1. Initiation- it begins at the start of
    mRNA. A messenger RNA molecule, a
  • ribosomal subunit, and a tRNA
    molecule carrying the animo acid bind together to
  • form a complex.
  • 2. Elongation- is the growth of the
    polypeptide chain (animo acid chain) through
  • the addition of animo acids.
  • 3. Termination- occurs when ribosome
    reaches the stop codon on the mRNA and
  • the polypeptide. At this point the
    mRNA and the tRNA molecule are released
  • from the ribosome.

36
  • The whole point of this pathway is to yield
    energy.
  • So whenever you eat a hamburger the bread will go
    down the carbo pathway and the meat will go down
    the protein pathway. While in the protein pathway
    the pathway will separate lipids from proteins.
    This is done by pyruvic acid. Without oxygen the
    pyruvic acid will be stored as fat.

38
Overview of Protein Synthesis
  • Protein Synthesis as a whole, is transcription
    and translation working together.
  • In order for translation to happen, transcription
    has to happen first.
  • When transcription happens, it creates a mRNA
    which then leaves the nucleus and enters a
    ribosome.
  • When the mRNA successfully enters the ribosome,
    the final step of protein synthesis occurs,
    translation.
  • After translation has successfully occurred, it
    has created a polypeptide chain, which is a
    protein that will then go where it is needed to
    help another cell form and develop according to
    what is needs to be. ( EX. A liver cell or a skin
    cell)

39
Regulation of Metabolic Pathways
  • Enzymes play a major role in the control of
    metabolic pathways (especially the rate in which
    the pathway functions). Certain Regulatory
    enzymes possess limited numbers of molecules so
    high concentrations of substrates saturate the
    enzyme (which causes the reaction rate of the
    pathway to no longer be affected by the
    concentration of substrates) and thus limits the
    rate of reaction. These rate-limiting enzymes are
    always placed 1st in series of enzymes to avoid
    the accumulation of unneeded intermediate
    products.

40
Polymerase Chain Reaction(PCR)
  • Borrows a cells machinery for DNA copying
  • Allows researchers to make many copies of a gene
  • Need for process
  • 2 types of short DNA pieces of the gene of
    interest
  • (primers)
  • Large supply of DNA bases
  • The enzymes that replicate DNA
  • Process is carried out in a thermal cycler
  • Procedure
  • Heat is used to separate the 2 strands of DNA to
    be used
  • The temperature is lowered and 2 short DNA
    primers are added
  • Primers bind to bases of separated strands
  • DNA polymerase add bases to the primers and make
    a copy of the original strand
  • The template strands are copied over and over
  • After 20 cycles 1 million copies of the original
    sequence are made

41
  • Strength Works good on rare and short DNA
    sequences
  • Weakness DNA can be contaminated-false positive,
    mutations
  • Used for
  • Genetic fingerprinting- blood, hair, saliva
  • Paternity testing
  • Detection of hereditary diseases
  • Cloning genes, mutations
  • Analyzing ancient DNA

42
Mutations
  • Mutations are a change in genetic information
    that cause alterations in the DNA sequence,
    causing it to function abnormally or not at all
  • 1) Mutations happen during DNA replication, where
    a base may pair up incorrectly with the newly
    forming strand
  • OR
  • 2) When sections of DNA are deleted or moved, or
    even attach to other chromosomes
  • Repair enzymes can correct some forms of DNA
    damages

1) Pairing up incorrectly
2) Deleted section of DNA
43
Good Bad Mutations Example Some good
mutations cause people to not be able to become
infected with HIV (AIDS) Some bad examples
are mutations from Chernobyl, where a nuclear
reactor meltdown in 1986 occurred
