Document Summary

Lecture 13 glycolysis anaerobic energy generation glycogen (animals) starch (plants) Diabetes = low/no insulin = blood glucose not taken up into cells adequately. ~anaerobic microorganisms completely dependent on glycolysis for energy generation. Complete oxidation of glucose co2 and h2o. Stage 1 = glycolysis + pyruvate dehydrogenase (cytosol) Stage 2 = tca cycle (the citric acid cycle) Glucose = highly polar = cannot enter cells via passive diffusion across membrane. Gluts = glucose transporters = transporter protiens = reside in cell membrane = catalyze glucose import. Insulin = hormone = stimulates glut-mediated glucose uptake in skeletal and adipose tissue. Fasting blood glucose []~5mm = one of the most abundant small molecules in body. Some tissues and cell types are solely dependent on glycolysis for the provision of energy. Only pathway that can provide energy under anaerobic conditions. First 5 = preparatory phase = atp used to phosphorylate and activate glucose. Next 5 = pay off phase = net generation of atp.
