Glucose Uptake and Glycolysis

Question 0

Direction of glucose transport

Answer 0

Blood to cells

Question 1

Glucose levels maintained at

Answer 1

70-110 mg/dl

Question 2

What kind of transport is used for glucose?

Answer 2

Passive facilitated

Question 3

Rate of glucose transport depends on

Answer 3

Glucose use

GLUT isoform

Question 4

What cells use insulin independent transport?

Answer 4

RBCs, brain, liver

Question 5

How does insulin independent transport work?

Answer 5

Only occurs when blood glucose conc high (liver GLUT high capacity but low affinity)

Question 6

What cells use insulin dependent transport?

Answer 6

Muscle

Adipose tissue

Question 7

How does insulin dependent transport work?

Answer 7

Akt and cbl-p signaling moves GLUT4 from cytoplasmic vesicles to plasma membrane

Question 8

Where does glycolysis occur?

Answer 8

Cytoplasm of all cells

Question 9

Glycolysis basic overall reaction

Answer 9

Glucose –> pyruvate

Question 10

Does glucose get oxidized or reduced?

Answer 10

Oxidized

Question 11

What are the 3 main stages of glycolysis?

Answer 11

1) priming stage
2) splitting stage
3) oxidation/reduction stage
