Document Summary

The first 7 reactions, 2 atp were invested and we made 2 atp, so we had a net zero of. Steps 8,9,10 are there to make atp. Step 9 shows that the 2pg and what it turns into is a near equilibrium reaction. 2pg is not sufficiently energetic to drive the synthesis of atp. This reaction allows to create a high-energy molecule to drive the synthesis of atp. When phosphate is removed from phosphoenolpyruvate it provides a lot of energy. We want to be able to produce atp by dephosphorylating phosphoenolpyruvate. Step 10 is catalyzed by enzyme pyruvate kinase. We remove the phosphate from phosphoenolpyruvate and put it on an atp. Pyruvate can undergo resonance, it can be an enol or it can switch to a ketone. It is also highly regulated because we don"t want to waste energy. Pyruvate kinase is a highly exergonic reaction, free energy dissipating. Glucagon is released when blood glucose levels get low.
