cellular resp Flashcards
what is the main focus of cellular resp -
to turn glucose into energy
step 1
glucose is phosphorylated into glucose 6 phosphate ( the phosphate comes from ATP-> ADP)
what enzyme is used in step 1
hexokinase ( hexo 6= kinase =phoshate adding helps facilite the reaction addiction of phosphate
what cofactor is used in step 1
mg2+ , helps with the binding of ATP to enzymes hexokinase
is step one reversible ?
no ( high energy change )
irreversibility and reversibility
comes down to Low or hight energy change
step 2
glucose 6 phosphate is process into fructose 6 phosphate.
what enzyme is used in step 2 ?
phosphoglucose isomerase , it doesnt add or sub atoms. I just changes the shape
is step 2 reversible ?
yes
step 3
F6P transforms into fructose 1,6 biphosphate
by phosphorylation of ATP
which enzyme is used ?
1-phosphofructosekinase
is step 3 reversible ?
no (hight energy level )
step 4
is the cleavage of fructose
fructose-1,6-bisphosphate is cleaved into two three-carbon molecules which are
Dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP)
Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P)
which enzyme is used ?
aldolase
is step 4 reversible ?
yes ( low energy )
