Glycolysis is a catabolic pathway, in which glucose is broken down to generate ATP. Would this pathway occur when there is high energy charge in the cell? Why/why not?

Explain the roles of ATP and NADPH in catabolic and anabolic reactions.

Compare the ATP yield of three glucose molecules that enter glycolysis and are converted to pyruvate...

Compare the ATP yield of three glucose molecules that enter glycolysis and are converted to pyruvate with that of three glucose molecules that proceed through the pentose phosphate pathway such that their carbon skeletons (as two F6P and one GAP) reenter glycolysis and are metabolized to pyruvate. Indicate the steps where ATP was used or produced and the overall ATP totals.

1. What is the major byproduct of anaerobic glycolysis: ATP, NADH, lactate, or pyruvate? 2. Glucose is retained in cells because it is phosphorylated, degraded, bound, or modified by amylase? 3. Is the final product of glycolysis acetyl CoA, glucose, lactate, or pyruvate? 4. Does Glycolysis generate no ATP, 1 ATP, 2 ATPs, or NADH? 5. Are DNA ends replicated by DNA polymerase, telomerase, RNA polymerase, or primase?
