Concept explainers
Interpretation:
In which enzyme act as catalyst in glycolysis process has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Glycolysis: This is one of biochemical pathway that breakdown a molecules of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate for producing some energy.
Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm and has two major phases.
- Energy investment phase
- Energy payoff phase
Glycolysis: This is the

- How many steps in gluconeogenesis are not the exact reversal of the steps in glycolysis? What kind of conversion of substrate to product does each involve? What is the common theme in each of these reactions?arrow_forwardThe conversion of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate to 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate is the only oxidative reaction of glycolysis. True or false?arrow_forwardfatty acid breakdown generates a large amount of acetyl CoA. What will be the effect of fatty acid breakdown on pyruvate dehydrogenase complex activity? On glycolysis?arrow_forward
- Which of the following enzymes possesses a catalytic mechanism extremely similar to that of the Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex? A. the isocitrate dehydrogenase B. the succinate dehydrogenase C. the alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase D. the malate dehydrogenasearrow_forwardWhy is it important that gluconeogenesis is not the exact reversal of glycolysis?arrow_forwardIf the conversion of glycerol to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate releases 1 molecule of ATP, how many molecules of ATP are released during the conversion of glycerol to pyruvate?arrow_forward
- Which glycolysis reactions are catalyzed by the following enzymes?(a) Pyruvate kinase(b) Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase(c) Hexokinase(d) Phosphoglycerate mutase(e) Aldolasearrow_forwardWhat is the cost (in ATP equivalents) of transforming glucose to pyruvate via glycolysis and back again to glucose via gluconeogenesis?arrow_forwardWhy does it make metabolic sense for the same hormone signal to stimulate glycogenolysis and inhibit glycolysis in the liver while stimulating both glycogenolysis and glycolysis in muscles?arrow_forward
