1. Glycolisis Flashcards
What is the main job of glycolisis
To breakdown one glucose molecule into two pyruvate molecules
What are the products of glycolisis
Net 2 ATP, 2 NADH molecules, 2 pyruvates,
How does glycolisis change if there is oxygen avaliable
Pyruvates will be further broken down to make ATPS
What are the general functions of glycolisis
To provide ATP
Does glycolisis provide enough ATP for complex animals
No - only produces enough for single cellular organisms
How much ATP is made and uses
4 and made, 2 are used. Net 2
What are the three enzymes used for regulation in glycolisis
Hexokinase, phosphofructokinase (PFK), and pyruvate kinese
Where does NAD+ come from
Cytoplasm - nuitrients in enviroment ready togo
How many steps are there of glycolisis
Ten
What are the general functions of glycolisis
Creates intermediates for other pathways. Glycolsis synthesis made from pyruvates and pyrvate dehydrogenise leading to the kreb cycle and fatty acid synthesis
Where can pyruvates go after being synthesized
- Too the fatty acid syntheis to make lipids
- To the krebs cycle to make more ATPS
Where does glycolisis take place
Cytoplasm
Whats the chemical formula of glucose
C6H12O6
What are the specific tissue functions of glycolisis
RBCs reply exlusivly on glycolisi for energy, skeletal msucles use the energy for short burths of high intensity excersises, the liver and adipose tissue use glycolisis as a source of glycerol-P and acetyl-CoA for triglyceride synthesis and fatty acid synthesis
