Document Summary

In the step from gap to gapdh (step 7) In humans, short sprints use up all o2 - cannot replace fast enough to provide o2. Once o2 is back to muscles, reverse the reaction/ enzyme. A hydride from nadh will attack the carbonyl carbon on pyruvate to produce l- lactate (note: there"s no nad+/nadh because no oxidative phosphorylation) Glucose + 2 adp + 2 pi 2 lactate + 2 atp + 2 h2o + 2h+ Glucose + 6 o2 > 6 co2 + 6 h2o. Most of the energy of glucose is still available following glycolysis! (as not c atoms are not oxidized yet) No net gain of production or loss of nad+ in the overall pathway. Therefore, more energy is released out of these cs. A hydride (h-) from nadh will attack the carbonyl carbon on acetaldehyde to produce ethanol (nucleophilic attack) Adding nadh will add a hydride to the carbonyl atom of pyruvate, changing c=o to c-
