What breaks glucose?
glycolysis

Acetyl-CoA
What is the first step of glycolysis after the glucose has entered the cell?
hexokinase turns glucose into glucose-6-phosphate
What is the second step of glycolysis?
phosphoglucose isomerase turns glucose-6-phosphate into fructose-6-phosphate
What is the third step of glycolysis?
phosphofructokinase turns fructose-6-phosphate into fructose-1,6-bisphosphate
What is the fourth step of glycolysis?
aldolase splits fructose-1,6-phosphate into glyceraldyhyde-3-phosphate (important) and dihydroxyacetone phosphate
What is the fifth step of glycolysis?
glyceraldyhyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase turns glyceraldyhyde-3-phosphate into 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate
What is the sixth step of glycolysis?
phosphoglycerate kinase turns 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate into 3-phosphoglycerate
What is the 7th step of glycolysis?
phosphoglycerate mutase turns 3-phosphoglycerate into 2-phosphoglycerate
What is the 8th step of glycolysis?
enolase turns 2-phosphoglycerate into phosphoenolpyruvate
What is the 9th step of glycolysis?
pyruvate kinase turns phosphoenolpyruvate into pyruvate
What is the 10th step of glycolysis?
lactate dehydrogenase turns pyruvate into lactate
Where does glycolysis happen?

two
Can fructose enter glycolysis?
yes
How does pH effect PFK?
decreased pH inhibits PFK

What is glucokinase?
alternative form of hexokinase

Where is hexokinase found?
muscle
What stimulates glucokinase?
insulin
What effect does glucose-6-phosphate have on glucokinase?
it does not inhibit it
What effect does glucose-6-phosphate have on hexokinase?
it inhibits it
What 3 paths can glucose-6-phosphate take?
it can be burned in glycolysis, can form glycogen, can be oxidized in the pentose phosphate pathway to make NADPH

What effect does alanine have on pyruvate kinase?
it inhibits it
What inhibits pyruvate kinase?
pyruvate, ATP, or alanine
What stimulates pyruvate kinase?
fructose 1,6 bisphosphate
What is the universal energy currency?
ATP
What can the energy from the conversion of ATP-ADP be used to build?
