Glycolysis Flashcards
fermentation of pyruvates to what?
lactic acid by bacteria
oxidation of reduced fuel (glucose) to generate E to form of ATP and NAD(P)H
metabolism
electrons are fallin gdown an electrial potential gradient from ____ to ______
reduced (glucose) to oxidized (oxygen)
metabolism doesn’t happen in
vacuum
what are involved to move metabolites in and out of cell?
many transporters
they talk to each other - complexity
GLU1 has Km value
~1mM
housekeeping one
GLU2 has Km?
high Km for glucose (10-20mM)
where is GLU2 present?
in the liver means that liver will take up glucose only when the blood glucose conc. is raised (after meal)
in fast state, GLUT2 does waht?
allows for the export of glucose from the liver
GLUT3 has Km?
low Km. ( present in brain)
GLUT4 transporters are sequestered in membranes of intracellular vesicles untill?
increase in blood insulin (from pancreas) concen. leads to recuitment of GLUT4 to the plasma membrane
insuline signal molecule here.
GLUT5 is
fructose transporter
glycolysis is what kind of process?
anaerobic process
doesn’t require O2
glucose into pyruvate, then to what in anaerobic condition?
lactate
recycling NADH -> NAD+
glucose into pyruvate, then to what in aerobic?
to acetyl coa => TCA => electron transport chain –> oxygen is final elec acceptor
*much more efficient (x15) than anaerobic
Glycolysis - synthesis of ATP is by?
substrate-level phosphorylation
