Document Summary

Glucose is now in the cell and there is an energy investment. Hexokinase: is the enzyme in all of our tissue, brain, nerve, Glucokinase: is an isoform of hexokinase that is specific for the (cid:1) phase where we are going to use 2atp to put 2 phosphates on glucose. In the energy generation phase, we will give those 2atp back up and we are going to split the glucose into 3 carbon compounds and we ultimately we are going to get 2 pyruvates. At the end glucose a 6 carbon sugar becomes 2 pyruvates (2, 3 (cid:1) carbons compounds) The net will be of two molecules of atp. We use two but we will (cid:1) going to get back 4, so the net production is 2 atp. We also produce some nadh which can be used to produce some more atp. (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1)
