  1. Chapter 25, part 2 Metabolism and Energetics

  2. SECTION 25-3Lipid Metabolism

  3. Lipid catabolism • Lipolysis • Lipids broken down into pieces that can be converted into pyruvate • Triglycerides are split into glycerol and fatty acids • Glycerol enters glycolytic pathways • Fatty acids enter the mitochondrion

  4. Lipid catabolism • Beta-oxidation • Breakdown of fatty acid molecules into 2-carbon fragments • Enter the TCA • Irreversible • Lipids and energy production • Cannot provide large amounts in ATP in a short amount of time • Used when glucose reserves are limited

  5. Figure 25.9 Beta Oxidation Figure 25.9

  6. Figure 25.9 Beta Oxidation Figure 25.9

  7. Lipid synthesis (lipogenesis) • Almost any organic molecule can be used to form glycerol • Essential fatty acids cannot be synthesized and must be included in diet • Linoleic and linolenic acid

  8. Figure 25.10 Lipid Synthesis Figure 25.10

  9. Lipid transport and distribution • 5 types of lipoprotein • Lipid-protein complex that contains large glycerides and cholesterol • Chylomicrons • Largest lipoproteins composed primarily of triglycerides • Very low-density lipoproteins (VLDLs) • contain triglycerides, phospholipids and cholesterol

  10. Lipid transport and distribution • 5 types of lipoprotein (continued) • Intermediate-density lipoproteins (IDLs) • Contain smaller amounts of triglycerides • Low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) • Contain mostly cholesterol • High-density lipoproteins (HDLs) • Equal amounts of lipid and protein

  11. Lipoprotein lipase • Enzyme that breaks down complex lipids • Found in capillary walls of liver, adipose tissue, skeletal and cardiac muscle • Releases fatty acids and monglycerides

  14. SECTION 25-4Protein Metabolism

  15. Amino acid catabolism • If other sources inadequate, mitochondria can break down amino acids • TCA cycle • removal of the amino group (-NH2) • Transamination – attaches removed amino group to a keto acid • Deamination – removes amino group generating NH4+ • Proteins are an impractical source of ATP production

  20. Protein synthesis • Essential amino acids • Cannot be synthesized by the body in adequate supply • Nonessential amino acids • Can be synthesized by the body via amination • Addition of the amino group to a carbon framework

  23. SECTION 25-5Nucleic Acid Metabolism

  24. Nucleic acid metabolism • Nuclear DNA is never catabolized for energy • RNA catabolism • RNA molecules are routinely broken down and replaced • Generally recycled as nucleic acids • Can be catabolized to simple sugars and nitrogenous bases • Do not contribute significantly to energy reserves

  25. Nucleic acid synthesis • Most cells synthesis RNA • DNA synthesized only when preparing for division
