Cellular Respiration and Enzymes

null

Active transport requires energy and ATP is energy currency of the cell.

The formation of glucose occurs in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum where glucose-6-phosphate is hydrolyzed by glucose-6-phosphatase to produce glucose.

PG2 and TX2 are synthesised by cyclooxygenase pathway.

Succinyl CoA and glycine are two starting materials for heme synthesis.

Acts as allosteric regulator and an energy source for protein synthesis.

Its a water soluble product formed when uricase enzyme acts on uric acid.

Pyruvic acid forms lactic acid in the absence of oxygen in muscles.

ATP is the energy currency of the cell. 

In biochemistry, the pentose phosphate pathway (also called the phosphogluconate pathway and thehexose monophosphate shunt) is a metabolic pathway parallel to glycolysis that generates NADPH andpentoses (5-carbon sugars) as well as Ribose 5-phosphate, a precursor for the synthesis of nucleotides. While it does involve oxidation of glucose, its primary role is anabolic rather than catabolic. There are two distinct phases in the pathway. The first is the oxidative phase, in which NADPH is generated, and the second is the non-oxidative synthesis of 6-carbon sugars. For most organisms, the pentose phosphate pathway takes place in the cytosol; in plants, most steps take place in plastids.

α lactoalbumin is a subunit of lactate synthase, which results in lactate synthesis. It acts as a lactose synthase modifier that catalizes lactate synthesis.

6 ATPs from two NADH compound, 2 from 1,3 bis-phosphoglycerate kinase and another 2 from pyruvate kinase. But 2 ATPs are deducted during ATP to ADP conversion. So, 10 - 2 = 8 ATPs.

The enzyme breaks fructose 1,6- diphosphate into glyceraldehydes-3-phosphate and dihydroxy acetone phosphate (DHAP).

FAD is converted to FADH₂ during formation of fumarate from succinate by the help of succinate dehydrogenase.

Gluconeogenesis is the process which occurrs partially in mitochondria and partially in cytosol.
