Question

Z1 1 Paste Pane Questions on Glycolysis from Khan Academy Video (4 points each) 1. In glycolysis, what are the compounds that are inputs, what compounds are made during the process and which fuels can be used to generate energy in glycolysis. 2. Is glycolysis an aerobic or an anaerobic process? Does your answer make sense for humans? Explain. Under what circumstances would human cells be likely to primarily utilize glycolysis? Is this a benefit or weakness in our cellular energy system? Explain your answer. 3. 4. What happens to lactate when it is produced in anaerobic glycolysis? 5. Which enzymes in glycolysis would be the most likely to be regulated? Why? Explain your answer

Explanation / Answer

1. In glycolysis the compounds that are inputs are Glucose, NAD, ATP, ADP, Pi . The compounds that are made in glycolysis are Pyruvate (final product).

Glucose is fuel used to generate energy in glycolysis cycle.

2. Glycolysis is anerobic process. During the glycolysis process it does not require oxygen, so this is anerobic process.

3. During the process of Cellular respiration in humans glycolysis plays a role,This is benefit to cellular energy system, break down of glucose to get energy for metabolism process.

4. In anerobic glycolysis Pyruvate converts to lactate by lactate dehydrogenase enzyme.

5. Hexokinase, glucokinase,phospofructokinase, Pyruvate kinase.

Phospofructokinase is main enzyme in control of glycolysis
