Q

some enzymes can bypass the irreversible reactions of glycolysis as:

A
  • hezokinase gluokinase ( consumes atp )
  • phosphofructokinase I ( rate limiting enzyme and consumes atp )
  • pyruvate kinase ( irreversible , it generates atp )

Q
  1. carboxylation of pyruvate:
    - glycolysis: pyruvate kinase conversion of phosphoenlypyruvate —->
  2. in glycogenesis bypass by: —–
    pyruvate will be —->
    activated by —–
    - the PEP carboxykinase : converts:
A
  • pyruvate ( irreversible )
  • pyruvate carboxylase ( biotin is co factor )
  • oxaloacetate (în mitoxhodnria )
  • acetyl coA
  • oxycalate —> PEP ( occurs in mitochondria and cytosol )
    ( info:
    the mitochondrial oxaloacetate cant pass mitochondrial membrane , converted to malaria or asparatete which can cross and are reconverted to OAA in cytosol )

Q
  1. the dephosphorlation of fructose-1,6 biphosphate:
    - glycolysis: phosphofructokinase
    the furtsoe-6-phosphate will be converted to :
    - in glycogenesis bypass by : fructose 1,6 biphosphatase control :
A
  • frutose-1,6 biphosphate ( irreversib;le )
  • inhibited by AMP ( which activates PFK1 glycolysis )
  • inhibited by fructose 2,6 biphosphate ( F-2,6-BP levels decreased by glucagon and increased by insulin , thus the glucagon increase rate of glucogeneis)

Q

—- functions as biochemical reductant involved in supplying electrons and hence energy to numeorus pathway.
