quiz 5 Flashcards
what is the net amount of ATP produced in glycolysis? how is that number determined
7 ATP total
2 ATP are used, 4 are created, and 5 are created from NADH H+
when can glycolysis begin
when glucose enters the cell
what are the two main regulations of glycolysis
glucose transport, regulated molecules
describe GLUT 1&3 for glucose transport
found on erythrocytes and neurons
both have a high affinity, so glycolysis occurs easily
describe GLUT 2 for glucose transport
needs a lot of glucose to move it to the blood
can only occur when there is high blood glucose
describe GLUT 4 with glucose transport
can regulate glycolysis
only transports glucose when insulin is present
what are the 3 regulated molecules
glucokinase
phosphofructokinase-1
pyruvate kinase
describe the regulated molecule glucokinase
low affinity (similar to glut 2)
needs high intercellular glucose concentration to be active
occurs only in liver
describe the regulated molecule phosphofructokinase-1
inhibited by high concentrations of ATP
insulin activates phosphofructokinase-2
results in production of phosphofructokinase-1
signals to the body there is an excess of glucose
describe the regulated molecule pyruvate kinase
activated by presence of 1-6bisphosphate
commits to glycolysis
inhibited by glycogen
what does the glycolysis pathway need to continue
glucose
define glycogen
the storage form of glucose, complex polymer made up of glucose molecules
what is glycogenin
it is the middle portion of glycogen with glucose chains attached.
define a1,4-linkage
bonds between glucose in straight chains
define a1.6-linkage
bond between glucose at branching points
where does glycogenesis occur
cytosolic (liquid portion of cell)
