Metabolic Role of Glucose

energy source for brain, muscles and other organs


RBC only use glucose


Blood transports glucose


Concentration in blood is regulated


In absence of carbs, amino acids can be used to synthesize glucose

energy released by glucose

-3000 kj/mol released by oxidation


-only 5-6% is released during breakdown of glucose to 2 pyruvates


-glucose catabolism produces intermediates for other metabolic pathways

Glycolysis

10 steps


net rxn


glucose+2ADP+2P+2NAD -> 2 pyruvate+ 2 ATP+ 2NADH+ 2H+ +2H2O

Gycolysis Stage 1

Energy investment 2ATP, reactions 1-3

Glycolysis Stage 2

Energy recovery, 4ATP, 2 NADH, reactions 4-10

Step 1 Glycolysis

Phophoryl group transfer, Phophoryl group transferred from ATP to Glucose to form glucose 6 phosphate, enzyme is hexokinase, 1 ATP is used

Step 2 Glycolysis

g6p is converted to fructose 6 phosphate, enzyme, phosphoglucose isomerase, (ring opens and recloses)

Step 3 Glycolysis

Phosphrylation of F6P, second ATP is used, F6P becomes Fructose 1,6, biphosphate, phosphofructokinase is enzyme,

Step 4 Glycolysis

cleavage of Fructose 1,6 biphosphate into two trioses, enzyme is aldolase, produces GAP and DHAP (interconvertable), GAP continues along,

Step 5 Glycolysis

Triose phosphate isomerization, triosephophate isomerase enzyme

Step 6 Glycolysis

Oxidation and phosphorylation of GAP, exergonic reaction of aldehyde oxidation drives synthesis of 1,3 BPG, glyceradehyde phosphate dehydrogenase enzyme

Step 7 Glycolysis

1,3 BPG dephosphorylation, 2 New ATP formed and 3GP, phosphoglycerate kinase enzymev

Step 8 Glycolysis

3GP converted to 2GP, phosphate transferred within molecule to prepare reactant for next stage of glycolysis, phosphoglycerate mutase enzyme

Step 9 Glycolysis

Dehydration of 2PG, makes PEP, enolase enzyme

Step 10 Glycolysis

Pyruvate synthesis, catalyzed by pyruvate kinase 2 ATP created
