Q

Why is ATP used in steps 1 and 3 of glycolysis?

A

Because the free energy level of the beta-gamma bond of ATP is higher than the free energy of the phosphate linkages in G6P and F1,6BP (extra energy is heat)

68
Q

What are the 2 phases of the PPP and what happens in each?

A
  1. Oxidative: generation of 2 NADPH and ribose-5-phosphate (CO2 leaves)2. Nonoxidative: ribulose-5-phosphate regenerates G6P

70
Q

What is the purpose of NADPH converting GSSG to 2GSH?

A

Protect the body from oxidizing agents:Small amount of O2 in cells is converted to ROS (superoxide radicals, hydrogen peroxide, and hydroxyl free radicals) and gluthathione peroxidase can convert these to water by using the reducing power of GSH (which is converted back to GSSG)

Condition caused by lack of G6PD enzyme and foods that have divicine (like fava beans): too many ROS in RBCs and no NADPH to protect the body Symptoms: anemia, diarrhea, respiratory problems, can be lethalTreatment: avoid oxidizing agents in diet

75

A

Skeletal muscles

81
