Introduction:
Glycolysis is a series of chemical reaction in the body which synthesizes energy in the form of ATP by breaking down Glucose molecules. Glycolysis is an extramitochondrial chemical reaction and takes place in the cytoplasm to produce energy in the form of ATP.
Triose Phosphate Isomerase help in the catalysis of conversion of dihydroxyacetone-Phosphate to Glyceraldehyde-3-Phosphate. The

- Effects of Changing Metabolite Concentrations on Glycolysis In an erythrocyte undergoing glycolysis what would be the effect of a sudden increase in the concentration of a. AΤP? b. AMP? c. fructose-1.6-bisphosphate? d. fructose-2, 6-bisphosphate? e. citrate? f. glucose-6-phospthate?arrow_forwardEnergetics of the Hexokinase Reaction The standard-state free energy change. Gfor the hexokinase reaction, is — 1 6.7 kJ/mol. Use the values in Table I to calculate the value of Gfor this reaction in the erythrocyte at 37°C.arrow_forwardUnderstanding the Oxidation of Glucose and Its Products in the TCA Cycle Glycolysis, the pyruvate dehydrogenase reaction, and the TCA cycle result in complete oxidation of a molecule of glucose to CO2. Review the calculation of oxidation numbers for individual atoms in any molecule, and then calculate the oxidation numbers of the carbons of glucose, pyruvate, the acetyl carbons of acetyl-CoA. and the metabolites of the TCA cycle to convince yourself that complete oxidation of glucose involves removal of 24 electrons and that each acetyl-CoA through the TCA cycle gives up 8 electrons.arrow_forward
