Brief Review

Trace the carbons from one Glucose molecule through Glycolysis, and the TCA Cycle ending with OAA.

For Glycolysis and the TCA Cycle know the names of all of the intermediates and of the enzymes where ATP, GTP, NADH, FADH₂ are made or used. Abbreviations are fine.

Know the Glycolytic Fructose and Galactose pathways names only, NO structures.

PDH: Over-all equation, what goes IN and what comes OUT.

PPP: What products or reactants of the pathway are also intermediates in Glycolysis.

Gluconeogenesis: just know the three main precursors, Lactate, Alanine and Glycerol. (NO structures).

Glycogen: the over-all purpose of the pathways, i.e. Glycogenolysis is to break-down Glycogen producing G-6-P, Glycogenesis is to store Glucose as Glycogen.

Allosteric Regulation: everything is important.

Insulin/Glucagon: everything is important. For the Insulin receptor stay with the half-sheet hand-out.

Digestion and Absorption of CHO’s and Proteins: you need to know everything in the Study Guide found on the web site.

Know the notes cold.

Use the worksheets and quizzes to help you study.
