FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is glycolysis?

Back

Glycolysis is a metabolic pathway that converts glucose into pyruvate, producing ATP and NADH in the process.

2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the net ATP yield from glycolysis?

Back

The net yield from glycolysis is 2 ATP per glucose molecule.

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the role of Hexokinase in glycolysis?

Back

Hexokinase catalyzes the conversion of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate, the first step in glycolysis.

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the function of NAD+ in glycolysis?

Back

NAD+ acts as an electron carrier, accepting electrons during the oxidation of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate.

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the significance of Fructose-1,6-BisPhosphate in glycolysis?

Back

Fructose-1,6-BisPhosphate is a key intermediate that is split into two three-carbon molecules, DHAP and G3P.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the difference between DHAP and G3P?

Back

DHAP (Dihydroxyacetone phosphate) is an isomer of G3P (Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate) and can be converted into G3P.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the role of Phosphofructokinase (PFK) in glycolysis?

Back

PFK is a key regulatory enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of fructose-6-phosphate to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate.
