glucose metabolism just notes

Question 1

why is all the energy in glucose not released in one go?

Answer 1

cannot utilise heat
no single reaction of metabolism need that much energy
enzymes only effect small changes

Question 2

step 1

formation of a covalent bond (——— bond) between the substrate and the enzyme (—————– 3 phosphate)

Answer 2

thioether

glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate

Question 3

step 2
——— of the thioether bond to form a thioether bond using ——- to perform the oxidation
hydrolysis of thioether bonds is ————-

Answer 3

oxidation
NAD+
exergonic

Question 4

step 3
the cleavage of the thioether bond supplies the ——- to drive the ————- —————–
the product a ———— is released from the enzyme

Answer 4

energy
endergonic phosphorylation
phophoaldehyde

Question 5

red blood cells cant get any energy so rbc need to ——— energy by anaerobic means

Answer 5

regenerate

Question 6

pyruvate is converted to lactate by

Answer 6

lactate dehydrogenase

Question 7

pyruvate - acetyl CoA

Answer 7

pyruvate dehydrogenase complex

Question 8

pyruvate - acetyl CoA

CoA-sh +NAD+

Answer 8

out:
NADH
CO2

Question 9
