15 flashcards · Other · by Haroon Chehabzada

1. Why is glycolysis unique?

   Sequence of reactions varies only in rate regulation & subsequent fate of pyruvate formed

2. What are two distinct phases in glycolysis

   preparatory (energy investment) phase and energy generation phase

3. What does the prepatory phase include

   Includes the phosphorylation of glucose and its conversion to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate

4. What does the energy generation phase include

   The energy generation phase includes the oxidative conversion of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate to pyruvate

5. How much ATP is produced in Glycolosis from phosphorolisation ?

   4 ATP

6. How much ATP is produced in Glycolysis per glucose molecule ?

   2 ATP

7. Where does glycolysis start

   Glucose

8. What is the purpose of glycolysis

   Oxidation of glucose to pyruvate

9. Where does glycolysis stop ?

   Pyruvate

10. Cellular location of glycolysis ?

    Cytoplasm

11. Enzymes that assist glycolysis ?

    Phosphoglycerate mutase, enolase, pyruvate kinase

12. Draw the structure of Glucose

13. Draw the structure of Glucose 6-phosphate

14. Draw Fructose 6-phosphate

15. Draw Fructose 1,6-Biphosphate
