Carbohydrate metabolism- GLYCOLYSIS Flashcards
Product of Oxidation via glycolysis
Pyruvate
Storage glucose
Glycogen, starch, sucrose
Product of oxidation via pentose phosphate pathway
Ribose 5-phosphate
Where synthesis of structural polymers occur
Extracellular matrix and cell wall
Other term for Glycolysis
Embden Meyerhof Pathway
Where glycolysis occurs
Cytosol
It is a catabolic pathway consisting of 10 steps
Glycolysis
Products of glycolysis
2 ATP
2 NADH
2 Pyruvate
2 phases of glycolysis
Preparatory phase
Pay off phase
Phase where ATP is invested, expended or used
Preparatory phase
Steps 1-5
Phase where ATP is synthesized
Step 6-10
Payoff phase
2 types of glycolysis
Aerobic
Anaerobic
Step 1:
Enzyme:
Phosphorylation of Glucose
Hexokinase & Glucokinase
Addition of phosphate group wc requires energy/ATP
Phosphorylation
Glucose cannot undergo glycolysis directly
Phosphorylation
2 enzymes used to add phosphate group
Hexokinase
Glucokinase
Enzyme that is
- inhibited by its product
- Has higher affinity to glucose
- small km
- used in skeletal muscles or other organs.
Hexokinase
Enzyme that is active only after meals
Glucokinase
Enzyme that is
- not inhibited by its product
Glucokinase
Enzyme if glycolysis occurs in muscle cells and other organs
Hexokinase
Enzyme used if glycolysis occurs in LIVER
Glucokinase
Step 2:
Enzyme:
Conversion of Glucose 6-phosphate to Fructose 6-phosphate via PHOSPHOHEXOSE ISOMERASE
