32

18
Q

How many ATP can be generated from glucose when the glycerol-3-P shuttle is used?

A

30

19
Q

What is the first step of glycolysis?

A

Glucose -> Glucose-6-P, means the glucose is trapped in the cell

20
Q

What enzyme catalyzes the first step of glycolysis?

A
  1. Hexokinase in MOST tissues

2. gLucokinase in LIVER

21
Q

What enzyme that phosphorylates glucose is induced by insulin?

A

Glucokinase

22
Q

Glucose-6P ->Fructose-6P->Fructose-1,6BP is sent on through glycolysis if the person is in what state?

A

Fed state, insulin around

23
Q

Glucose-6P ->Fructose-6P->Fructose-1,6BP is sent on to what process if in the fasting state? What enzymes are involved?

A

Gluconeogenesis, FBPase-1 sends it back to F-6P
