GLYCOLYSIS Flashcards
chemical compounds involved in metabolism
metabolites
types of metabolic pathway
linear
cyclic
spiral
2 functions of metabolic pathways
generation of energy
synthesis of biological molecules
characteristics of metabolism
irreversible
has a committed first step
regulated
occur in specific cellular locations
glycolysis comes from a merger of two greek words
glykys - sweet
lysis - breakdown
sequence of 10 enzyme-catalyzed reactions that converts glucose into pyruvate with simultaneous production on of ATP
glycolysis
results from a defect in fructose breakdown in the liver, usually in aldolase.
Hereditary fructose intolerance
Glycogen phoshorylase catalyzes the simultaneous phosphorylation and cleavage of an a-1,4 linked glucose from a non-reducing end of glycogen
phosphorolysis
molecules left after complete phosphorylase digestion of glycogen
