L10: Glycolysis Flashcards
lactose composed of
- galactose
- glucose
sucrose composed of
- glucose
- fructose
where are starches degraded?
- salivary amylase in mouth first
- pancreatic amylase in small intestine
small saccharides are degraded by
- glycosidases attached to the intestine
- sucrase, lactase
what happens to sugars like glucose, galactose, and fructose?
- transported into intestinal cells
- then exported into the circulation
GLUT 1
- present in most cell types, including fetal tissues
- responsible for basal glucose transport in most cell types
- Km lower than normal glucose levels
- all cells can efficiently extract glucose from serum
GLUT 2
- present in liver and pancreatic beta cells
- transports only when glucose levels are high
- Km is high
- bidirectional transporter in liver
what does the liver usually use for energy?
- fatty acid breakdown
GLUT 3
- present mostly in neurons and the placenta
GLUT 4
- present in muscle and fat cells
- the number of transporters increases in presence of insulin
- promotes ability of tissues like muscle to get glucose
is glucose anaerobic or aerobic?
- facultatively anaerobic
- can run in presence or absence of oxygen
where does glycolysis occur?
- cytoplasm
step 1 of glycolosis
- glucose -> glucose-6-phosphate
- via hexokinase
- requires ATP
- traps glucose in the cell because G-6-P cannot pass through membrane due to negative charge of phosphate tail
step 2 of glycolysis
- glucose-6-phosphate -> fructose-6-phosphate
- via phosphoglucose isomerase
step 3 of glycolysis
- fructose-6-phosphate -> frucose-1,6-bisphosphate
- via PFK-1
- requires ATP
step 4 of glycolysis
- fructose-1,6-bisphosphate -> glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and DHAP
- via aldolase
step 5 of glycolysis
- DHAP -> glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate
- via triode phosphate isomerase
- GAP can generate ATP but DHAP cannot
step 6 of glycolysis
- GAP -> 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate
- via glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase
- NAD+ reduced to NADH
step 7 of glycolysis
- 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate -> 3-phosphoglycerate
- via phosphoglcyerate kinase
- ATP is formed
step 8 of glycolysis
- 3-phosphoglycerate -> 2-phosphoglycerate
- via phosphoglyceromutase
NAD+ derived from
- niacin or vitamin B3
FAD derived from
- riboflavin or vitamin B2
step 1 of fructose metabolism
- fructose -> fructose-1-P
- by fructokinase
- requires ATP
step 2 of fructose metabolism
- fructose-1-P -> glyceraldehyde and DHAP
- via aldolase B
step 3 of fructose metabolism
- glyceraldehyde -> glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate
- via triose kinase
- uses ATP
fructose intolerance cause
- defect in aldolase B
