Glucose units cleaved from glycogen by the phosphorylase: are phosphorylated at the C1 position by hexokinase to generate glucose 1-phosphate are converted into fructose 1-phosphate and then enter glycolysis at step 3 need to have their 1-phosphate moved to the C6 position before they can enter glycolysis directly enter glycolysis at step 2, where they are converted to fructose 6-phosphate

Trypanosomes living in the bloodstream obtain all their free energy from glycolysis. They take up glucose from the host’s blood and excrete pyruvate as a waste product. In this part of their life cycle, trypanosomes do not carry out any oxidative phosphorylation, but they do use another oxygen-dependent pathway, which is absent in mammals, to oxidize NADH. Would this pathway be necessary if the trypanosome excreted lactate rather than pyruvate? Explain.
Match the following: Glycolysis, Glycogen, Glucagon, Glucose, Glycogenesis, Glycogenlysis, Gluconeogenesis, Insulin Process to synthesize glucose Process to synthesize glycogen Process to breakdown glycogen Process to breakdown glucose Monosaccharide Polysaccharide that stores glucose Hormone that stimulates glycogen breakdown Hormone that stimulates glucose uptake into cells
TPP is a coenzyme for transketolase, the enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of a ketopentose (xylulose- 5-phosphate) and an aldopentose (ribose-5-phosphate) to an aldotriose (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate) anda ketoheptose (sedoheptulose-7-phosphate). Notice that the total number of carbons in the reactants and products is the same (5 + 5 = 3 + 7). Propose a mechanism for this reaction.
Glucose 6-phosphate is in a pivotal position in metabolism. Depending on conditions, glucose 6-phosphate follows one of several pathways. Under what conditions do the following occur?(a) Glycolysis(b) Hydrolysis to free glucose(c) Pentose phosphate pathway(d) Glycogenesis
When we break down sucrose in our bodies through the process of digestion, what are hte resulting products? glucose and fructose galactose and fructose fructose and lactose glucose and galactose
The rate-limiting step is a metabolic pathway is the slowest step which determines the overall rate of the other reactions in the pathway. In glycolysis, the rate limiting step is a phosphorylation reaction where phosphofructokinase (PFK-1) catalyzes the reaction fructose-6-bisphosphate -> fructose-1,6-bisphosphate, the same step in gluconeogenesis. Select one: The statement is FALSE. The statement is TRUE.
Stearic acid is the common name for the C18 straight-chain, saturated fatty acid. Draw the structure of the fatty acyl-CoA that this forms (you don't have to draw out all of the atoms in coenzyme A; you can represent it as S-, and then show all of the reactions). Draw & identify all of the compounds formed when the eighteen carbon fat is converted to two molecules of acetyl-CoA and the fourteen-carbon fat via two turns of the fatty acid spiral. List the enzymes and coenzymes that are part of the pathway.
In strong base, glucose converts to fructose. Explain howthis conversion occurs.
