Q

Explain why PFK is the key regulatory enzyme of glycolysis?

A

PFK’s reaction is unique to glycolysis and is a better site to more tightly control the reaction

Q

Explain how blood glucose levels control the activity of pyruvate kinase?

A

If blood glucose levels are low, pyruvate kinase decreases thus slowing the pathways of glycolysis

Q

Explain the advantages of phosphorylating glucose when it enters the cell?

A

Traps glucose in the cell
Phosphate groups create high energy bonds
Keeps intracellular concentrations of glucose low
Favors glucose diffusion into the cell

Q

What are the traits of hexokinase?

A

Catalyzes the first step
Inhibitors of PFK inhibits hexokinase
PFK increases F6P and then G6P

Q

What are the traits of glucokinase?

A

Alternative form of hexokinase
Glucokinase also makes G6P, but only does this if glucose is abundant
Provides G6P for synthesis of glycogen

Affinity of glucokinase for G6P allows brain and muscle the first shot of utilizing glucose(lesser affinity for glucose)

Q

State the circumstances where lactate is produced?

A
  • lactate is produced to buy time and allow temporary over-running of glycolysis
  • made to reform NAD+ for use in pathway to keep glycolysis running
  • pyruvate + NADH+ H+ —> (lactate dehydrogenase) —> lactate + NAD+

Q

Explain the relationship between lactate production and NADH?

A
  • lactate is produced to buy time and allow temporary over-running of glycolysis
  • made to reform NAD+ for use in pathway to keep glycolysis running
  • pyruvate + NADH+ H+ —> (lactate dehydrogenase) —> lactate + NAD+
  • NAD+ is generated to continue glycolysis

Q

State the net production of ATP from glycolysis?

A

Net yield of ATP in glycolysis is 2 ATP

4 total produced in 2nd half of reaction, but 2 were utilized in first half of reaction
