Document Summary

- glycolysis converts glucose (6 carbons) to two molecules of pyruvate (3 carbons) (cid:30) - the first half of glycolysis are termed the investment stage and prime glucose for further metabolism at the cost of two high-energy bonds from atp. - the last half of glycolysis are the payoff stage and yield 4 atps through the process of substrate-level phosphorylation for a net yield of 2 atps (cid:30) - atp can be produced in glycolysis in the absence of o2 (cid:30) - phosphofructokinase is subject to allosteric regulation by effectors that reflect the energy state of the cell: atp and citrate inhibit pfk; amp activates it (cid:30) - the only oxidation-reduction reaction in glycolysis is catalyzed by glyceraldehyde-3- phosphate dehydro- genase and makes nadh (cid:30) - under anaerobic conditions pyruvate can be converted to lactate (animal cells) or ethanol (yeast, bacteria) to regenerate nad+ needed to keep glycolysis running (cid:30)

Select one:

a. If the concentrations ofthe two products are high relative to that of fructose1,6-bisphosphate.

b. The reaction will not goto the right spontaneously under any conditions because the G ispositive.

c. Under standard conditions,enough energy is released to drive the reaction to the right.

d. When there is a highconcentration of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate relative to theconcentration of products.
