|
Term
Name the reactant & product this enzyme is involved with
enolase |
|
Definition
| Dehydration of 2-phosphoglycerate to form phosphoenol pyruvate |
|

|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Catalyze reactions that involve moving a functional group from on location in a molecule to another |
|
|
Term
| What type of phosphorylation occurs in glycolysis? |
|
Definition
| Substrate Level Phosphorylation |
|
|
Term
| Which tautomer of pyruvate is initially produced? |
|
Definition
The enol form.
(This will rapidly undergo tautomerization to form the keto form) |
|
|
Term
| What cofactors are required in the final step of glycolysis? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
True or False
Glucose enters the cell by passive diffusion |
|
Definition
False
Glucose enters the cell in a reaction catalyzed by GLUTs |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Glucose transporter proteins |
|
|
Term
True or False
Glucose is the ONLY mechanism that can provide energy in anaerobic conditions |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| What is the function of glutamate in glycolysis? |
|
Definition
| A glutamate residue of the phosphohexose isomerase enzyme acts as first a general base and then a general acid when an ene-diol intermediate is formed prior to forming fructose-6-phosphate |
|
|
Term
| How does aldolase function? |
|
Definition
| Fructose-1,6-biphoshate ring structures opens to take on the linear form. Aldolase cuts between C3 & C4 |
|
|
Term
| What enzyme converts pyruvate to lactate under anaerobic conditions? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| What is the reducing agent in the conversion of pyruvate to lactate? |
|
Definition
| NADH is the reducing agent, it is oxidized to NAD+ |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The recycling of lactate back to glucose by the liver |
|
|
Term
| What do microorganisms convert pyruvate to in anaerobic conditions? |
|
Definition
| acetaldehyde and then to ethanol |
|
|
Term
| What enzyme convrts pyruvate to acetylaldehyde? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| What enzyme converts acetylaldehyde to ethanol? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Why can't animals convert pyruvate to ethanol under anaerobic conditions? |
|
Definition
| They don't have pyruvate decarboxylase. They do have alcohol dehydrogenase but the reaction proceeds only in reverse (ethanol to acetaldehde) |
