Lecture 25: Glycolysis Flashcards
aerobic cellular respiration is a ___ pathway that breaks down __ into __
catabolic; glucose; ATP
what are the 2 roles of glycolysis?
- degrades glucose to ATP
2. provides building blocks for making biomolecules
in glycolysis, __ is converted to __ which makes __ ATP
1glucose; 2pyruvate; 2
which stage of glycolysis uses 2 ATP? Why?
the first. To cleave the sugar
the net products of 1 glucose in glycolysis
2 ATP and 2NADH
how are the enzymes regulated in glycolysis?
allosteric control
what is the first reaction in glycolysis? what enzyme class is used?
glucose phosphorylated by ATP; transferase
what is the purpose of phosphorylating glucose?
prevents its escape from the cell and increases reactivity
enzymes that transfer a phosphate are often called __
kinases
what is the second reaction in glycolysis? what enzyme class is used?
isomerization of G-6P to F-6P
by turning G-6P to F6P, what is achieved?
produces carbon available for phosphorylation and fructose is better at cleaving
what is the third reaction in glycolysis? what enzyme class is used?
phosphorylation of F-6P by ATP; transferase
what is the fourth reaction in glycolysis? what enzyme class is used?
F-1,6-BP is split into the isomers DHAP and GAP; lyase
t/f GAP is on the direct pathway of glycolysis, but DHAP is not
true
what is the fifth reaction in glycolysis? what type of enzyme is used?
DHAP is isomerized to GAP; isomerize
