Glycolysis Flashcards
1
Q
What is the fate of glucose in the body?
A
- glycogen, starch, sucrose
- pyruvate via glycolysis
- ribose-5-phosphate via PPP
2
Q
Products of glycolysis?
A
- 2 ATP
- 2pyruvate
- 2 NADH
3
Q
Where does glycolysis occur?
A
Cytoskeleton
4
Q
How is glucose trapped in the cell?
A
Insulin up-regulates the transcription of GLUT glucose transporter in response to high level of glucose
5
Q
What happens when glucose enters the cytosol
A
Glucose is turned into glucose-6 -phosphate by hexokinase (Gluck Incase if its in the liver)
6
Q
Why is glucose turned into g6p when inside the cell?
A
Because g6p cannot leave the cell
