Cards

Term
Glycolysis
Definition
the oxidation of glucose to pyruvate (aerobic) or lactate (anaerobic)
Term
purpose of glycolysis
Definition
produce energy from glucose
Term
where does glycolysis occur?
Definition
cytoplasm
Term
where is the first ATP of glycolysis used?
Definition
during the phosphorlyation of glucose from GLUCOSE to GLUCOSE-6-PO4
Term
what is the purpose of hexokinase and glucokinase?
Definition
phosphorylate glucose
Term
what are the differences between hexokinase and glucokinase?
Definition

Hexokinase                                     Glucokinase

- all cells                                                                                                                                   - liver, pancreas (beta cells)

-any hexose                                                                                                                              -glucose only

- inhbited by G-6-PO4 (allosteric)                                            - induced by insulin (inhibited by glucagon)

- low km for glucose                                                                                                             - high km for glucose

Term
allosteric modification
Definition

may be poitive or negative (inhibits the enzyme)

 

regulation is reversible

Term
induction
Definition

increase synthesis of the enzyme

 

increase amount of the enzyme

Term
km (michaelis constant)
Definition

concentration of substrate needed for a reaction to proceed at 1/2 velocity

 

inversely related to affinity (low km infers high affinity b/n the enzyme and its subtrate)

Term
how is PFK-I regulated?
Definition

allosterically regulated

 

inhibited by: ATP, citrate

induced by: AMP, ADP, fructose-2,6-bisphosphate

 

induction: insulin increases the amount of PFK-I synthesized

Term
what is PFK-I?
Definition
major-rate controlling enzyme in glycolysis
Term
where is the second ATP of glycolysis used?
Definition
frutose-6-po4 to fructose-1,6-bis-po4
Term
where does oxidative phosphorylation occur?
Definition
mitochondria
Term
oxidative phosphorylation
Definition
the formation of ATP via the electron transport chain
Term
max # of ATP produced via oxidative phosphorylation
Definition
3
Term
substrate level phosphorylation
Definition
transfer of a po4 group from a high-E compound to ADP to form ATP
Term
where does substrate level phosphorylation occur
Definition
cytoplasm and mitochondria
Term
# of ATP formed via substrate level phosphorylation
Definition
1
Term
where are ATP produced in glycolysis?
Definition

1,3-bis-P-glycerate to 3-P-glycerate

 

PEP to pyruvate

Term
cori cycle
Definition
lactate formed in muscle from anaerobic glycolysis may be sent to liver for synthesis of glucose (glucose may be returned to the muscle)
Term
cost of operating glycolysis as a closed system
Definition
only 2 ATP formed
Term
glycolysis as closed system
Definition

-NADH + H is used to convert pyruvate to lactate instead of the H's being sent to the ETC

-regenerates NAD for the rx of Gly-3-po4 to 1,3-bis-P-glycerate to keep glycolysis going


- OF SIGNIFIGANCE TO:  MUSCLE DURING ANAEROBIC CONDITIONS & RBC which lacks mitochondria
