Formation of lactate
Slide3
Seven of the ten reactions in the glycolytic pathway have free energy values close to zero. What does this tell us about those reactions?
A) They are near equilibrium reactions.
B) They are not control points for pathway regulation.
C) They are reversible reactions.
D) All of the above.
E) None of the above.
Which of the following is false concerning steps 1, 3, and 10 of glycolysis?
All are catalyzed by a kinase.
All involve ATP hydrolysis
All have a negative standard free energy
All have a negative free energy under cellular conditions
All are irreversible steps.

The Problem of Anaerobic Metabolism
With oxygen, the NADH produced in glycolysis is re-oxidized back to NAD
+
NAD
+
/NADH is a co-substrate which means…
If there is no oxygen, glycolysis will stop because…
