Glycogenesis/lysis
Random!
100
This enzyme adds a phosphate group to glucose.
What is hexokinase?
100
Pyruvate must be converted into this before entering the TCA cycle.
What is acetyl CoA?
100
This intermediate must be produced to bypass the last irreversible step in glycolysis.
What is oxaloacetate?
100
This is the reason glucose cannot be stored in large amounts of the cell.
What is maintaining osmotic balance?
100
This compound is closely related to glucose and can readily be converted to glucose 6-phosphate.
What is galactose?
200
These 2 molecules regulate phosphofructokinase allosterically.
What are ATP and AMP?
200
This ion determines the rate of enzyme activity of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex.
What is Ca2+?
200
This is the most regulated step in gluconeogenesis.
What is conversion of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate to fructose 6-phosphate?
200
This is the overall reaction on glycogensis.
What is glycogen(n) + UDP-glucose --> glycogen(n+1) + UDP?
200
This organ metabolizes most of the fructose you consume.
What is the liver?
300
This is the rate limiting and most regulated step in glycolysis.
What is the conversion of fructose 6-phosphate to fructose 1,6-bisphosphate?
300
This is the location of the TCA cycle.
What is the matrix of the mitochondria?
300
These are the three major non-carbohydrate precursors for gluconeogenesis.
What are lactate, amino acids and glycerol?
300
These linkages join glucose together in glycogen.
What are alpha 1-4 linkages? (also alpha 1-6 linkages in the branches)
300
This hormone upregulates the transcription of enzymes for glycolysis and this hormone downregulates them.
What are insulin and glucagon respectively?
400
This intermediate in glycolysis can also enter the PPP.
What is glucose 6-phosphate?
400
This is the number of carbon dioxides and ATP produced in 2 turns of the TCA cycle.
What is 4 carbon dioxides and 2 ATP?
400
This is the end product of gluconeogenesis.
What is glucose 6-phosphate?
400
This is the primer and primase in glycogenesis.
What is glycogenin?
400
This is the sugar produced by the pentose phosphate pathway.
What is ribose 5-phosphate?
500
These compounds inhibit pyruvate kinase.
What are ATP and alanine?
500
This molecule from the TCA cycle can go on to form fatty acids and steroids.
What is citrate?
500
These enzymes are on the same polypeptide chain which is considered to be bifunctional.
What are FBPase-2 and PFK-2?
500
This enzyme cleaves glycogen to release glucose.
What is glycogen phosphorylase?
500
Oxaloacetate can form this amino acid.
What is aspartate?
