roughly comparable to ATP:
✫Phosphocreatine (P-creatine)
✫ Thioester bonds ( ex. in Acetyl-CoA)
✫ UDP-Gluc

What vitamin is found in the nicotinamide part of NADH and what is the deficiency of it called?
Niacin; Pellegra
Draw the structure of NAD+ and NADH?
Slide 46 of lec. 1
What vitamin is FADH2 made out of?
Riboflavin
Which steps in glycolysis are irreversible and serve as regulatory points?
✪ hexokinase (step 1)
✪phosphofructokinase-1 (step 3)
✪pyruvate kinase (step 10).
T/F glycolysis occurs in the mitochondria
FALSE. It occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell.
What is the first step of glycolysis?
the phosphorylation of glucose to form glucose-6-phosphate, catalyzed by the enzyme hexokinase.
Which enzyme is responsible for converting glucose-6-phosphate into fructose-6-phosphate?
The enzyme phosphoglucose isomerase
What is the role of phosphofructokinase-1 (PFK-1) in glycolysis?
PFK-1 is a key regulatory enzyme in glycolysis that catalyzes the phosphorylation of fructose-6-phosphate to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate
What are the end products of glycolysis?
2 molecules of pyruvate, 2 molecules of NADH, and a net gain of 2 ATP molecules.
How does glycolysis contribute to anaerobic respiration?
In anaerobic conditions, pyruvate produced from glycolysis can be converted into lactate (in animals) or ethanol (in yeast) to regenerate NAD+, allowing glycolysis to continue producing ATP.
What is the fate of pyruvate after glycolysis under aerobic conditions?
Under aerobic conditions, pyruvate is transported into the mitochondria and converted into acetyl-CoA, which enters the citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle) for further energy production.
What happens in the fourth step of glycolysis, and which enzyme is responsible?
also state which one is a ketose and which one is an aldehyde
fructose-1,6-bisphosphate is cleaved into two three-carbon molecules: glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (GAP)
(aldehyde)
and dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP). (ketose)
The enzyme responsible is aldolase (*and Triose phosphate Isomerase)
T/F aldolase alone converts fructose-1,6-bisphosphate to GAP + DHAP
FALSE; it needs Triose Phosphate Isomerase as well
Describe the fifth step of glycolysis and the enzyme involved.
conversion of dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) into glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (GAP).
The enzyme involved is triose phosphate isomerase. (it has to catch up :0 )
T/F every reaction of glycolysis requires Oxygen
FALSE; none of the reactions require O2
T/F Taking large amounts of vitamin B1 can enhance athletic performance by stimulating pyruvate decarboxylase and thus reducing feedback inhibition of pyruvate kinase.
FALSE; PYRUVATE DECARBOXYLASE DOES NOT OCCUR IN THE LIVER!!!
T/F Hexokinase is the primary enzyme in liver that converts glucose to glucose-6-P
FALSE; Hexokinase does NOT occur in the liver, that is GLUCOKINASE
