Q

What are the 2 sources of glucose

A

1- From food
transfer from digestive system into epithelial cells (via Na+ and cotransport)
into all other cells by facilitated diffusion (usually need insulin)

2- From glycogen breakdown

Q

What are the end products of alcohol fermentation?

A

CO2 and ethanol (cannot occur in humans)

17
Q

Advantage of alcohol fermentation

A

Regenerates NAD+ for glycolysis

provides ATP

18
Q

What is alcohol fermentation? (Steps)

A

2 consecutive reactions:
pyruvate + H2O form acetaldehyde + CO2
acetaldehyde form (NADH to NAD+) ethanol

19

Pyruvate oxidation occurs in…

A

Mitochondria

21
Q

What are the 3 steps of Pyruvate oxidation?

A

Decarboxylation (remove CO2)
Oxidation (make NADH to NAD+)
Conjugation to CoA (add Co enzyme A make acetyl CoA)
