Equation for BMI
BMI= weight in kg/height in m squared
How many calories are there in a gram of carbohydrate?

What are the functions of glycolysis?
Oxidation of glucose
Production of 2 NADH per glucose
Net production of 2 ATP molecules per glucose
Produces d6 and c3 inetrmediated
What are the feature of glycolysis?
Occurs in all tissues
Exergonic and oxidative
Can operate anaerobically with the help of PDH
It is irreversible
What is 2,3bisphospphoglycerate?
Regulator of haemoglobin and oxygen affinity it is produced from an intermediate
Where is 2,3 bisphosphate produced?
Erthryocytes
What is glycerol phosphate?
Important in triglyceride and phospholipid biosynthesis produced in adipose and liver.
What is glycerol phosphate produced from and where?
Dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) in adipose tissue and the liver
What does lipid synthesis require?
Glycolysis
What is 2,3BPG produced from?
1,2BPG
What is allostery?
When an activator binds to another site
What are the two binding sites on proteins?
Catalytic site where the substrate is made into the product
Regulatory site- binding of specific regulatory molecule which affects catalytic activity and can produce activation and inhibition
Are reversible steps of metabolic pathways regulated?
No
