Document Summary

Activates glucose so it can be converted into two 3-c fragments. Hexokinase adds phosphate to glucose to activate it, changing to glucose 6-phosphate (atp adp hydrolysis); this step prevents glucose from being transported out (traps glucose in cell: highly regulated enzyme! Phosphofructokinase adds phosphate to fructose-6- phosphate to make fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (atp adp hydrolysis); committed step: this step is highly regulated! and is irreversible (this new compound made will readily be broken down, so there is no going back) Steps use high energy acyl-phosphate compounds to generate atp. Bisphosphoglycerate to 3-phosphoglycerate by removing a phosphate (adp atp) Pyruvate kinase converts phosphoenolpyruvate to pyruvate by removing a phosphate (adp atp: highly regulated enzyme! Since the compounds made have higher energy than. 2 steps of oxidation (high energy reactions): Creation of high energy phosphate bond- combining of carboxylic acid and phosphate to make acyl- phosphate- By coupling these together allows very unfavorable reaction to be driven by oxidation.
