Enzymes
This enzyme catalyzes the first committed step of glycolysis
What is phosphofructokinase?
Break down of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate
What is glycolysis?
3 carbon molecule that is the final product of glycolysis
What is pyruvate?
Stage 1 of glycolysis
What is the energy investment phase?
This uses alcoholic fermentation
What is yeast?
The catalytically perfect enzyme in the pathway of glycolysis
What is triose phosphate isomerase?
Glycolysis is a sequence of this many enzymatic reactions
What is 10?
Galactose enters glycolysis as this
What is glucose-6-phosphate?
The full/scientific name for ATP
What is adenosine triphosphate?
Complete oxidation of glucose under homolactic fermentation yields this
What is 2 molecules of ATP?
What is one of the enzymes that catalyzes the interconversion between aldose and ketose?
What is phosphoglucose isomerase
OR
triose phosphate isomerase?
Where glycolysis takes place
What is Cytosol?
One molecule of glucose is converted into this many pyruvate
What is 2 molecules of pyruvate?
The literal definition of glycolysis
What is “breaking glucose”?
Under aerobic conditions the mitochondrial oxidation of each NADH to NAD+ yields 2.5 ATP
What is oxidative phosphorylation?
Enzyme that converts glucose-6-phosphate to fructose-6-phosphate
What is phosphoglucose isomerase?
What is energy metabolism?
This would be the net gain of ATP if 15 molecules of glucose went through glycolysis
What is 30 ATP?
Stage 2 of glycolysis
What is energy recovery?
Anaerobically grown yeast consumes far more sugar than when grown aerobically
What is the Pasteur effect?
This enzyme catalyzes the first irreversible step of glycolysis
What is hexokinase?
The third irreversible step of glycolysis
What is conversion of PEP to pyruvate?
This many ATP are needed for glycolysis to occur
What are 2 ATP?
