Energy Production and Metabolism — Flashcards

Thyroid Peroxidase is involved in the second part of T4 synthesis, generating _____ and T4 bound to thyroglobulin

O2 is converted to _____ by the enzyme NADPH oxidase (oxidative burst)

_____ may inhibit the ETC by binding Fe2+, preventing transfer of electrons to O2 in complex IV

In complex _____, Fe3+ accepts electrons, forming Fe2+, which then donates the electrons to oxygen (forming H2O)

Ketone bodies are primarily used for energy in the _____ (starvation state), muscle, and kidney

In the ETC, protons travel down their gradient through the _____ pump, generating ATP and heat

Aerobic metabolism of glucose produces _____ net ATP via the malate-aspartate shuttle (heart and liver)

The main sources of energy in a fed state are _____ and aerobic respiration

_____ in brown fat may act as an uncoupling agent of oxidative phosphorylation

-ketoglutarate is converted to _____ via the enzyme -ketoglutarate dehydrogenase
