1
Q
What is the outcome of glycolysis?
A
conversion of glucose in cytoplasm to
- two molcules of pyruvate
- two molcules of NADH (–> 2 ATP each)
- two molecules of ATP
2
Q
inositol triphosphate is activated by what? what is its pathway?
A
activated by alpha one adrenoceptors. Binds to endoplasmic reticulum membrane, increases concentration of intracellular calcium –> smooth muscle contraction –> ++ exocrine secretion and force/rate of cardiac contractions
