GLYCOLYSIS Flashcards
1
Q
Occurs in
A
Cytoplasm
2
Q
Converts glucose to
A
Pyruvate (3 carbons)
3
Q
¿What does generate?
A
Generates ATP and NADH
4
Q
NADH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide)
A
- Donate electrons transport chain in the mitochondria –> ATP
5
Q
The majority of the reactions are
A
reversible
6
Q
Not reversible reactions
A
- Glucose to glucose-6-phosphate
- Fructosa-6-phosphate to fructose-1,6-bidiphosphate
-Phosphoenolpyruvate to pyruvate
7
Q
Priming stage
A
- the cell invests energy and spends ATP
8
Q
Splitting stage
A
- it divides from 6 carbon structure to 3
9
Q
Energy stage
A
- ATP is generate
10
Q
Hexokinase
A
- add phosphate groups and most of the time phosphate group will come from ATP
- most tissues
- inhibited by G6P
- Insulin has not effect
- Low Km
- Low Vm
11
Q
Glucose-6-phosphate
A
- trapped inside of cells
12
Q
Glucokinase
A
- liver and pancreas
- not inhibited by G6F
- Induced by insulin
- high Km and Vm (rate varies with glucose)
- sigmoidal curve
13
Q
Glucokinase is inactivate when
A
1- low glucose
2- high F6P (overcome by elevate glucose)
14
Q
GKRP (glucokinase regulatory protein)
A
- Translocate glucokinase to the nucleus
- Inactivate glucokinase
- Glucose compete with it
15
Q
Low blood sugar (hexo/gluco kinase activity)
A
- Hexokinase working
- Glucokinase inactive
- Glucose to tissue, not liver
