YOUR ANSWER : ?
Glucose from the breakdown of glycogen is obtained in the muscles by hydrolysis both (a) and (b) the muscles by phosphorolysis the liver by phosphorolysis TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?
The released energy obtained by oxidation of glucose is stored as NAD+ ADP ATP a concentration gradient across a membrane TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?
Which of the following regulates glycolysis steps? Phosphofructokinase Hexose kinase Pyruvate kinase All of these TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?
A kinase is an enzyme that removes phosphate groups of substrates uses ATP to add a phosphate group to the substrate uses NADH to change the oxidation state of the substrate removes water from a double bond TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?
Glycolytic pathway regulation involves feedback, or product, inhibition by ATP allosteric stimulation by ADP All of these allosteric inhibition by ATP TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?
Why does the glycolytic pathway continue in the direction of glucose catabolism? Glycolysis occurs in either direction There are essentially three irreversible reactions that act as the driving force for the pathway The enzymes of glycolysis only function in one direction High levels of ATP keep the pathway going in a forward direction TRUE ANSWER : ?
