Lecture exam 2 (Anaerobic glycolysis) Flashcards
What is anaerobic glycolysis
breakdown of sugar (glucose) with out oxygen in environment (oxygen can be present0
where does glucose come from for anaerobic glycolysis
blood circulation and glycogen stored in the muscle
anaerobic glycolysis is the primary energy form in activities that last this long
20-30 sec to 2-3 min
intermediate =
reactant or product in a metabolic pathway
first and last intermediate of anaerobic glycolysis in an anaerobic environment
glucose
lactate
glucose in the blood comes from here
glycogen stores in the liver
foods we eat
ATP produced in anaerobic glycolysis is used for this
crossbridge recharging
step 1: How does glucose get into the cell
glucose enters cell facilitated by the pancreatic hormone insulin
step 1:When glucose enters the cell this immediately happens, and results in
glucose is phosphorylated by HK (hexokinase)
glucose-6-phosphate
step 1: What are two important points of this step when glucose come from outside the cell
costs 1 ATP to initially phosphorylate glucose
once phosphorylated the 6 carbons are restricted to the cell
step 1: Glucose can come from glycogen in the cell that has been acted on by this enzyme
phosphorylase
step 1: what are two important points of this step when glucose come from inside the cell
does not require atp when substrate is glucose
once phosphorylated the 6 carbons are restricted to the cell
step 1: final intermediate
glucose-6-phosphate
step 2: what happens (isomerase)
glucose-6-phosphate is acted on by an isomerase to produce fructose-6-phosphate
step 3: what happens (PFK)
fructose-6-phosphate is acted on by PFK (phosphofructokinase) to produce fructose-1,6-bisphosphate + ADP
Step 3: Two important aspects of this step
This step uses 1 ATP
PFK is the rate limiting step of glycolysis (lowest urnover rate in the pathway)
NAD is a derivative of this vitamin
B3
step 4: what happens (Aldolase)
fructose-1,6-bisphosphate is acted on by the enzyme aldolase to produce 2, 3 carbon compounds
step 4: what are the 2, 3 carbon compound intermediates of this step
DHAP (dihydroxyacetone phosphate)
G-3-P (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate)
