6. PEPCK is regulated via transcriptional and protein expression rates
7. Pyruvate is...
- A precursor of the citric acid cycle, a product of glycolysis and a precursor of gluconeogenesis
- A hetero-dimer would be formed by two different macromolecules (process called heterodimerization)
8. Amylase enzymes are needed in the human intestine to _______
- Digest plant starch
- Digest animal glycogen
9. The levels of PEPCK activity regulate the rate of gluconeogenesis
10. Gluconeogenesis is
- The reverse pathway of glycolysis
- Another name for glycolysis
11. In response to high glucose levels ________ is released
12. Glycolysis regulation: Elevated levels of AMP or ATP - would this inhibit or stimulate glycolysis?
- Elevated levels of AMP – stimulation of glycolysis, elevated ATP - inhibition of glycolysis
- Elevated levels of AMP – inhibtion of glycolysis, elevated ATP - stimulation of glycolysis
13. Why would high acetyl CoA levels stimulate oxaloacetate formation?
- Skeletal muscle
- High acetyl Co A levels stimulate pyruvatecarboxylase activities, which catalyses the reaction to form oxaloacetate
- The process of breaking a 1, 4 glycosidic bonds
14. Phosphorolysis
- The process of breaking a 1, 4 glycosidic bonds
- The process of breaking a 1, 6 glycosidic bonds
15. A debranching enzyme that hydrolyses a 1,6 glycosidic bonds
- Glucosidase
- Glycogenesis
- Glucose
16. How many molecules of ATP are produced by glycolysis
17. Glycogen catabolism in mammals is
- Glycogenolysis
- Glycogen synthase
18. Glycogen is produced via
- Glycogenesis
- Glucogenolysis
19. Glucose can be synthesised from ________
20. Glycogen is composed of (monosaccaride)
- Glucosidase
- Glycogenesis
- Glycogen
