Glycolosis Flashcards
2 types of metabolism
Anabolism - builds
Catabolism - breaks
When does glycolysis occur and where
Everyday and in the cytoplasm
What happens in glycolysis
Cells break down sugar known as glucose (6 carbon molecule) into a (3 carbon energy rich molecule) called PYRUVATE
What solely rely on glycolysis to produce energy
Red blood cells
Glycolysis can occur aerobically/anaerobically based on?
Aerobic - have oxygen and mitochondria
Anaerobic - no oxygen and lack of mitochondria
What does the glucose molecule do in order for glycolysis to happen
Glucose molecule enters the cell
Glucose molecule enters the cells for glycolysis on what concentration gradient (lower to higher)
Sodium’s concentration gradient and this requires ENERGY since low to high
2 transporter systems involved
CGLT (sodium
GLUT (protein
How many glut transporters and which is most important
14 and number 4
What process does the GLUT system use
Facilitated diffusion
What does GLUT acc do
Carries glucose molecule to inside of cell through facilitated diffusion
2 processes
Investment
Energy generation
Glucose turns into…..
Glucose 6 - phosphate
ATP ——> ADP
Fructose 6- phosphate turns into
Fructose 1,6 biphosphate
ATP ——> ADP
Phosphoneolpyruvate turns into (PEP)
Pyruvate
Just an ATP
