nucleic acid
classes of carbohydrates
monosaccharides
disaccharides
polysaccharides
serves as fuel
simple sugar
have 3 to 7 carbon skeleton
monosaccharide
2 classification of monosaccharides
aldose and ketose
aldehyde sugars
aldoses
ketone sugars
ketoses
3 carbon simple sugar
trioses
transfer the phosphate group from atp to glucose , also traps the sugar in the cell
hexokinase
glucose 6 phosphate is to converted to fructose 6 phosphate
phosphogluco-isomerase
transfer a phosphate group from ATP to the opposite end of the sugar, investing a second molecule of ATP. this is a key step for regulation of glycolysis
phospo-fructokinase
cleaves the sugar molecule into two different three-carbon sugars
adolase
conversion between DHAP and G3P. this reaction never reaches equilibrium: G3P is used in the next step as fast as it forms
isomerase
2 sequential reactions:
1. G3P is oxidize by the transfer of electrons to NAD+ forming NADH
- using energy from this exergonic redox reaction, a phosphate group is substrate, making a high energy product
triose phosphate dehydrogenase
the phosphate group transferred to ADP in an exergonic reaction the carbonyl group of G3P has been oxidized to the carboxyl group.
phospho-glycerokinase
this enzyme relocates the remaining phosphate group
phospho-glyceromutase
causes a double bond to form in the substrate by extracting a water molecule, yielding phosphoenolpyrovate (PEP) high potential energy compound
enolase
the phosphate group is transferred from PEP to ADP
pyruvate-kinase
also form a pyruvate
six carbon sugars, the most common of all is carbohydrates.
hexoses
four -carbon sugars , an intermediate in the hexose monophosphate shunt for oxidation of glucose.
tetroses
five-carbon sugar molecules. the most important of these are ribose and deoxyribose
pentoses
blood cannot hold anymore sugar
glycosuria
grape sugar
dextrose
how much mg of glucose the blood usually contains
80-120mg/100mL
a diseases occurs when the concentration of glucose reaches as level about of 160mg/100mL ,
diabetes
