Glycolysis Flashcards
exam 2
If glucose enters cells by facilitated diffusion, it will leave the same way, so how do you keep it there?
phosphorylation
What term describes sets of enzymes that have different amino acid sequences but catalyze the same reaction?
isoenzymes
Glucokinase A. has a Km lower than the normal blood glucose concentration. B. has glucose-6—phosphatase activity. C. is found in muscle. D. is inhibited by glucose-6-phosphate. E. none of the above.
E. none of the above.
Red cells have lactate dehydrogenase primarily so that
they can regenerate NAD+ to keep glycolysis going
when liver PFK 2 is targeted by insulin, it will
become a fructose- 2,6- BP synthetase
Glucose is broken down via ______ for energy
glycolysis
Glycolysis overview
breakdown of glucose to pyruvate under aerobic condition
under anaerobic conditions, Glycolysis
produces lactate
glucose enters the cell via
facilitated diffusion
How is glucose kept in the cell?
phosphorylation
addition of phosphate makes glucose
charged
kinase that is specific for glucose
glucokinase
kinase that can phosphorylate glucose and other hexes
hexokinase
hexokinase is inhibited by
its product, G6P
glucokinase is not inhibited by G6P products which allows
liver to act as a glucose dump
glucokinase has a ___ km which means
high Km which means it has low affinity ofr glucose thus it is hard to get saturated and can bind to glucose of of the blood
Hexokinase has a ____ km which means
low km, which means that it has high affinity for glucose
not associated with obesity or high lipid levels; patients still make insulin
Type II Diabetes
MODY is associated with
mutation in Glucokinase gene
what happens to MODy in the liver
it cannot binds properly bind to glucose
MODY is also associated with genes for transcription factors that
promote insulin release
Because Mutant Glucokinase cannot take up glucose to metabolize leading to
reduced glycolysis leading to lower insulin release
ATP causes closing of ______ channel leading to _________ via rush of ______ which leads to depolarization and _____ release
ATP causes closing of K+ channel leading to depolarization via rush of calcium which leads to depolarization and insulin release
Glucose is brought into _________ via Glucokinase and undergoes _____ to create ATP
Glucose is brought into Beta-pancreatic cells via glucokinase and undergoes glycolysis to create ATP
_____ is very important in RBCs
Glycolysis
Why doe RBCs depend on glycolysis for ATP production
lack of mitochondria
glycolysis provides muscle
energy for exercise
initial exercise uses the ________ glycolysis
anaerobic
as you continue to exercise, you switch to the _______ energy system as the tissue oxygenates, which still uses glycolysis but adds the ________
As you continue to exercise, you switch to the aerobic energy system as the tissue oxygenates, which still uses glycolysis but adds the TCA cycle
_____ or _______, glycolysis produces energy in the form of ATP
Aerobically or anaerobically
