fructose is a component of ( ) and galactose is a component of ( )

A

sucrose, lactose

25
Q

where does galactose enter glycolysis

A

at glucose 6-P

26
Q

lactose intolerant is due to ( ) in lactase

A

deficiency

27
Q

where does fructose enter glycolysis?

A

enters from the liver into DHAP or GAP

28
Q

T or F: excessive fructose consumption can lead to obesity, fatty liver & type 2 diabetes

A

T

29
Q

2 major roles of glycolysis

A

1) degrade glucose to generate ATP
2) provide building blocks for biosynthetic processes

30
Q

what 3 enzymes control the rate of glycolysis via the 3 irreversible reactions

A

1) hexokinase
2) PFK
3) pyruvate kinase

31
Q

why is glycolysis termed an anaerobic process?

A

b/c there is no requirement for oxygen

32
Q

T or F: PFK is controlled allosterically

A

T

33
Q

drop in muscle pH ( ) PFK & activates ( )

A

inhibits, ATP

34
Q

hezokinase catalyzes ( ) which ( ) hexokinase allosterically

A

glucose 6-P, inhibits

35
Q

pyruvate kinase is allosterically ( ) by ATP and ( ) by fructose 1,6-BP

A

inhibited, activated

36
Q

increase in fructose 1,6-BP =

A

increase in pyruvate kinase activity

37
Q

liver function

A

maintain glucose levels in the blood

38
Q

what is glucose stored as?

A

glycogen

39
Q

T or F: PFK regulation differs in muscle vs liver

A

T

40
Q

what is the inhibitor of PFK in the liver?

A

citrate

41
Q

high levels of citrate = metabolized glucose is ( )

A

slowed

42

isoform of hexokinase, it phosphorylates glucose

49
Q

how does glucokinase differ from hexokinase (2)

A

1) glucokinase has 50 fold higher Km than hexokinase
2) glucokinase is not inhibited by its product (glucose 6-P)
