what is the Warburg effect?
cancer cells lack a capillary network so they have less oxygen supply than healthy cells, since glycolysis is anaerobic the rate of glycolysis is then higher in cancer cells, meaning they are taking sugars away from the body at a faster rate, resulting in weight loss
which carbons of the original glucose are phosphorylated in the two molecules of GAP? a. C-1 and C-2 b. C-3 and C-4 c. C-5 and C-6 d. C-1 and C-6 e. C-1 and C-4
d. C-1 and C-6
aldolase and enolase are categorized as which type of enzyme according to the Enzyme commission number,EC a. oxido-reductases EC1 b. transferases EC2 c. isomerases EC5 d. lyases EC4 e. translocases EC7
d. lyases EC4
which three enzymes catalyze the irreversible steps of glycolysis?
hexokinase, phosphofructokinase-1 (PFK-1), and pyruvate kinase
substrate level phosphorylation describes a process of generating ATP from a __________
high-energy phosphate-containing molecule where a phosphate group is transferred directly from the high-energy substrate molecule to ADP, forming ATP
di-, tri-, and polysaccharides are ___________ into monomers before they can enter glycolysis
hydrolyzed (broken down)
lactose is a mono / di / tri saccharide, it is hydrolyzed by the enzyme _____________ , A lactase deficient person will show a(n) increase/decrease/ no change in blood glucose after consuming this sugar
lactose in a disaccharide, its is hydrolyzed by lactase, and a lactase deficient person will show an increase in blood glucose since it cannot be properly broken down
what is the balanced equation for the pyruvate kinase reaction?
phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) + ADP → Pyruvate + ATP
which steps in glycolysis involve substrate level phosphorylation?
step 7: phosphoglycerate kinase step 10: pyruvate kinase
the net yield of ATP in glycolysis is __________
two ATP molecules per glucose molecule
how can the pyruvate kinase reaction be regulated by AMP and ATP?
when ATP levels are high ATP binds to the allosteric site of pyruvate kinase, inhibiting the enzyme's activity, but when ATP levels are low AMP concentration increases and AMP binds to a different allosteric site on pyruvate kinase and stimulates its activity, this activation allows glycolysis to proceed more rapidly
how many total ATP are generated in the payoff phase in glycolysis?
4 total ATP molecules are generated but the net yield is only 2 since 2 were consumed during in the investment phase
