18 Questions
What is the role of phosphofructokinase (PFK-1) in the regulation of glycolysis?
All of the above.
What is the role of adenylate kinase in the regulation of glycolysis?
Adenylate kinase converts ADP into ATP and AMP, which helps to maintain the ATP/ADP ratio.
How does the rate of ATP hydrolysis affect the rate of glycolysis?
The rate of ATP hydrolysis is set to match the rate of ATP synthesis, which determines the rate of glycolysis.
What is the role of hormonal regulation in the control of glycolytic flux in hepatocytes?
Both b and c.
What is the net result of the conversion of one mole of glucose to two moles of pyruvate in glycolysis?
2 moles of ATP and 2 moles of NADH are produced.
What is the primary function of the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate?
To convert pyruvate into acetyl-CoA, which can then enter the citric acid cycle.
What is the primary role of 2,3-BPG in red blood cells?
To alter the oxygen binding to hemoglobin, stabilizing the low oxygen affinity state
Which of the following is a key step in the regulation of glycolysis?
Conversion of fructose-6-phosphate to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate
In the clinical case, which of the following is the most likely cause of the patient's hemolytic anemia?
Decreased activity of 2,3-BPG mutase
What is the significance of the elevated bilirubin level in the patient's blood?
It is a result of increased hemoglobin breakdown
How does the patient's red blood cell metabolite concentrations compare to the control?
Increased levels of glycolytic intermediates and decreased ATP
Which hormone is most likely to be involved in the regulation of glycolysis in the patient's case?
Glucagon
Which of the following pathways is primarily responsible for producing ATP during aerobic respiration?
All of the above pathways contribute to ATP production
What is the primary role of the pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) reaction in cellular metabolism?
Converting pyruvate to acetyl-CoA for entry into the citric acid cycle
Which of the following statements about the regulation of glycolysis is correct?
Glycolysis is regulated by allosteric inhibition of key enzymes
Which of the following statements accurately describes the role of hormones in regulating metabolism?
Hormones can stimulate or inhibit specific metabolic pathways
Which of the following statements is true regarding the production and utilization of ATP in cells?
ATP is continuously produced and consumed in cells
Which of the following is a common nucleophile in biochemical reactions?
All of the above
Test your knowledge on the process of how glucose is oxidized, including phosphorylation, isomerization, hydrolysis, dehydrogenation, ATP production, phosphate transferation, and more.
