General Zoology Module 1 Lesson 3

1) Glucose is broken down through cellular respiration to produce ATP, which powers metabolic processes. There are aerobic and anaerobic pathways, with aerobic producing more ATP. 2) Glycolysis is the first step, breaking glucose into pyruvate and generating a small amount of ATP. It involves multiple phosphorylation and isomerization reactions. 3) The document then provides detailed steps and enzymes involved in glycolysis, including energy investment to harvest energy in the form of ATP and NADH.

INTRODUCTION

- Glucose as an Energy Source


o broken down through cellular respiration
o to eventually produce adenosine triphosphate
 used to power the different metabolic processes in animal cells
- Cellular Respiration
1. Pathway 1 (Aerobic Pathway) -> produces higher ATP
a. Glycolysis (can occur aerobically or anaerobically, does not require O2
b. Transitional Reaction
c. Krebs Cycle
d. Oxidative Phosphorylation
i. Electron Transport Chain
ii. Chemiosmosis
2. Pathway 2 (Anaerobic Pathway) -> produces lesser ATP
a. Lactic Acid Fermentation
i. Glycolysis
ii. NAD+ Regeneration
GLYCOLYSIS
- Nutshell:
o Glucose is broken down into pyruvate and ATP
I. Energy Investment Phase (2 G3P MOLECULES)
1. Phosphorylation
 START:
 One Glucose Molecule
 ENZYME:
 Hexokinase
 DESCRIPTION:
 invests some ATP in order to gain more ATP later on
 a phosphate group from ATP will be added to a glucose molecule
 END:
 Glucose 6-phosphate
2. Isomerization
 START:
 Glucose 6-phosphate
 ENZYME:
 Phosphoglucoisomerase
 END:
 Fructose 6-phosphate
3. Phosphorylation
 START:
 Fructose 6-phosphate
 ENZYME:
 Phosphofructokinase
 DESCRIPTION:
 a phosphate group from ATP will be added to fructose 6-
phosphate
 END:
 Fructose 1,6-bisphosphate
4. Cleavage
 START:
 Fructose 1,6-bisphosphate
 ENZYME:
 Aldolase
 DESCRIPTION:
 splits into two (2) different structures
 END:
 Dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP)
 Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P)
5. Isomerization
 START:
 Dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP)
 ENZYME:
 Isomerase

 DESCRIPTION:
 hydrogen is released and binds to NAD+ to form NADH
 a phosphate from the cytoplasm combines with G3P
 END:

7. Substrate-Level Phosphorylation
 START:
 1,3-Bisphosphoglycerate (BPG)
