Chapter 7: CHO - Metabolic Reactions (Glycolysis) Flashcards
reactions that involves the breaking down of molecules into smaller ones and yield energy
catabolism
uses energy to create larger molecules from small molecules
anabolism
the sum of all the chemical reactions, either catabolic or anabolic, that occur in living cells
metabolism
the degenerative pathway where glucose is converted to pyruvate
it is integrated to many biochemical processes
glycolysis
d-glucose is oxidized to _____ or _____
pyruvate or lactate
oxidation of d-glucose to pyruvate or lactate is linked to glycogen metabolism through
d-glucose 6 phosphate
-generating adenosine-triphosphate (ATP)
-producing pyruvate
-forming intermediate compounds for other metabolic processes such as: glycerol 3-phosphate (triglyceride and phospholipid biosynthesis); 2,3-diphosphoglycerate in erythrocytes; pyruvate for alanine synthesis; etc.
other functions of glycolysis
in the brain and erythrocytes
this enzyme involved enables them to utilize glucose even when it is present in low concentrations
hexokinase
in the liver
this reaction is catalyzed by _____ (_____)
liver acts as supplier of glucose when the supply is limited
glucokinase (hexokinase d)
tissues
involved with enzyme hexokinase
brain and erythrocytes
tissues involved in the catalyzation of glucokinase
liver
- processes involved
converted to fructose 6-phosphate and phosphorylated for a second time by phosphofructokinase, using ATP
glucose-6-phosphate
- processes involved
the resulting _____ is split into 2 interconvertible triose phosphates, glyceraldehydes 3-phosphates and dihydroxyacetone phosphate
fructose 1,6-biphosphate
- processes involved
the resulting fructose 1,6-biphosphate is split into 2 interconvertible triose phosphates,
glyceraldehydes 3-phosphates and dihydroxyacetone phosphate
- processes involved
a complex reaction follows, catalyzed by _____ in which glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate is oxidized using NAD+ as a coenzyme and inorganic phosphate as a second substrate to form 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate and NADH
glyceraldehydes 3-phosphate dehydrogenase
