16
Q

what is the oxidation step in glycolysis

17
Q

what is the ATP synthesis stages in glycolysis

18
Q

what is the first exmaple of substrate level phosphorylation in glycolysis

A

both reaction 7 and 10**

19
Q

what is isomerisation in glycolysis

A

isomerisation is the process of changing from one isomer to another, so in the pic below you can see they take the phosphate from 3rd carbon and put it on the 2nd

20
Q

what is another example of substrate level phosphorylation in glycolysis

21
Q

what is the yield of ATP from glycolysis

A
  • early stages use 2 ATP

-later stages make 4 ATP

-net yield = 2 ATP

-nadh produced

22
Q

which 2 reactions make ATP in glycolysis

23
Q

what is anaerobic glycolysis

A

When theres NO O2 or NO MITOCHONDRIA pyruvate is not metabolised to CO2

Pyruvate converted to lactate in order to convert the cofactor NADH back to NAD+

pyruvate + NADH + H+ → NAD+ + lactate

24
Q

the reaction of pyruvate to lactate is catalysed by what reaction?

A

Lactate Dehydrogenase

25
Q

what is the metabolic fate of pyruvate (ie if there is oxygen present - in aerobic conditions)

A

put into TCA cycle

26
Q

how is glycolysis regulated, what kind of control is it under?

A

allosteric control
hormonal control

27
Q

what are 3 specialised functions of ATP in tissues?

A

Skeletal muscle: ATP production during intense exercise

Red blood cells: only pathway for ATP production (no mitochondria)

Brain: major source of ATP (cannot use fats as fuel)

28
Q

is glycolysis catabolic or anabolic?

29
Q

which energy pathway can function in either aerobic or anaerobic conditions (red cells & skeletal muscle)

A

glycolysis

30
Q

What are the end products of glycolysis under aerobic and anaerobic conditions?

  1. carbon dioxide and lactate
  2. acetyl CoA and lactate
  3. pyruvate and lactate
  4. pyruvate and acetyl CoA
  5. acetyl CoA and pyruvate
A
  1. pyruvate and lactate
31
Q

In which three cell types is the glycolysis pathway of particular importance?

  1. Brain, skeletal muscle, and red blood cells
  2. Adipose tissue, skeletal muscle, and red blood cells
  3. Brain, liver, and red blood cells
  4. Liver, skeletal muscle, and red blood cells
  5. Brain, liver, and skeletal muscle
A
  1. Brain, skeletal muscle, and red blood cells
32
Q

The net yield of ATP from anaerobic glycolysis is:

1 ATP per glucose molecule
2 ATP per glucose molecule
4 ATP per glucose molecule
6 ATP per glucose molecule
8 ATP per glucose molecule

A

2 ATP per glucose molecule

33
Q

Which two reactions in glycolysis result in direct production of ATP by substrate level phosphorylation? Those catalysed by:

  1. hexokinase and pyruvate kinase
  2. aldolase and pyruvate kinase
  3. 3-phosphoglycerate kinase and pyruvate kinase
  4. hexokinase and 3-phosphoglycerate kinase
  5. aldolase and 3-phosphoglycerate kinase
A
  1. 3-phosphoglycerate kinase and pyruvate kinase
33
Q

when is glycolysis rate increased and why?

A
  • intense muscle work and exercse
  • after high carb meal

^ high insulin levels

34
Q

when is glycolysis rate decreases and why

A

fasting state

^ high levels of glucagon circulating

35
Q

which enzyme can be allosterically controlled

A

phosphofructokinase

36
Q

what molecule can increase/ decrease glycolysis

A
  • ATP and citrate decrease
  • AMP increase
