Glycolysis Flashcards
what is another name for anaerobic glycolysis?
Ebden Meyerhoff Pathway
write the equation for the overall pathway of glycolysis
glucose -> 2 pyruvate + 2 ATP + 2 NADH + 2 H2O
what substance do RBC’s convert pyruvate into that is able to leave the cell?
lactate
write the equation for RBC’s and clearly label the enzyme that does this conversion
pyruvate + NADH -> lactate + NAD
(lactate dehydrogenase)
what do yeast convert pyruvate into?
CO2 + Alcohol (+NAD)
write the equation for yeast and clearly label the names of the enzymes that do this conversion
pyruvate + NADH +H -> CO2 + alcohol + NAD
(acetaldehyde / alcohol dehydrogenase)
Name the 3 stages of glycolysis
investment stage
splitting stage
yield stage
name the allosteric enzyme for glycolysis
phosphofructokinase
what hormone increases the function of the allosteric enzyme of glycolysis?
insulin
list the steps of the investment stage
glucose -> glucose 6P -> fructose 6P -> fructose 1,6 BP
what is the coenzyme for the step glucose -> glucose 6P?
ATP -> ADP
what is the coenzyme for fructose 6P -> fructose 1,6 BP?
ATP -> ADP
what is the enzyme that converts glucose -> glucose 6P?
hexokinase
what enzyme converts glucose 6P -> fructose 6P?
isomerase
what enzyme converts fructose 6P -> fructose 1,6 BP?
phosphofructokinase (allosteric)
