17
Q

What is the overall reaction for glycolytic pathway reaction I??

A

Glucose + ATP –> (hexokinase) Glucose-6-Phosphate + ADP

18
Q

What is the overall reaction for glycolytic pathway reaction III?

A

Fructose-6-Phosphate + ATP –> (Phosphofructokinase-1) Fructose-1,6 BP + ADP

19
Q

What is the overall reaction for glycolytic pathway reaction 10?

A

Phosphoenol pyruvate + ADP –> (Pyruvate kinase) Pyruvate + ATP

20
Q

What happens to the two NADH molecules that are created in glycolysis?

A

Under aerobic conditions reoxidized to NAD+ by transfer of their electrons to the ETC

21
Q

Metabolic flux is controlled by ?

A

rate-limiting enzymes

22
Q

What ensures that liver cells requester glucose

A

Different glucose binding affinities of hexokinase and glucokinase

23
Q

What is one thing that affects PFK-1 activity?

A

Allosteric regulators

24
Q

What are the two components of sucrose?

A

Glucose + Fructose

25
Q

What are the two components of lactose

A

Galactose+ Glucose

26
Q

What is the metabolic fate o fpyruvate under aerobic conditions

A

is metabolized in the mitochondria to produce CO2 and H2O

27
Q

What is the metabolic fate of pyruvate under anaerobic conditions

A

pyruvate is converted to lactate or ethanol (fermentation)

28
Q

What is the net reaction for lactate fermentation

A

Pyruvate + NADH + H+ –> (Lactate dehydrogenase) Lactate + NAD+

29
Q

What is the net reaction for ethanol fermentation

A

Pyruvate –> (CO2) Acetyaldehyde + NADH + H+ –> Ethanol

30
Q

What is an inhibitor of phosphofructokinase-1

A

CItrate, ATP

31
Q

What is an allosteric regulator of PFK-1

A

Fructose 2,6 BP, ADP

32
Q

Which enzymes in the glycolysis pathway requires ATP as a substrate

A

Hexokinase

33
Q

What is the net formation of molecules by the glycolytic pathway during the conversion of 1 mol of fructose 1,6 BP to 2 mol of pyruvate?

A

2 mol of NADH and 4 mol ATP

34
Q

What is the benefit of converting pyruvate to either ethanol or lactate under anaerobic conditions?

A

NAD+ is regenerated, which allows glycolysis to continue

35
Q

Two reactions (Rxn 1- 2.3 kJ/mol, Rxn 2- 12.3 kJ/mol). Which is more likely to require ATP coupling?

A

Rxn 2, since it is nonspontaneous

36
Q

Rxn 1- A+B –> C
Rxn 2- C–>D
What is the coupled reaction?

A

A + B –> D

37
Q

What is the net reaction in stage 1 fo glycolysis with 2 moles of glucose

A

2 Glucose + 4 ATP –> 4 G3P + 4 ADP

38
Q

If 2 moles of glucose were conveted into 4 pyruvate, there would be a net yeild of ___ ATP

A

4 ATP

39
Q

Phosphorylation of glucose requires 1 ATP. Can the reverse reaction be used for substrate-level phosphorylation?

A

No, it is not spontaneous enough to couple ATP synthesis

40
Q

Why cant glucose phosphoylation occur without ATP investment

A

Without ATP investment, one or both substrates would need to exceed the solvent capacity of the cell for glucose phosphorylation to occur

41
Q

Which enzymes catalyze rate determining steps in glycolysis?

A

phosphofructokinase, pyruvate kinase, and hexokinase.
