Intro to Glucose Metabolism

Glycolysis

________ and gluconeogenesis dont occur in the cell at the same time; when one is activated, the other is inhibited.

ATP

When cells have high levels of ________, pyruvate and lactase molecules can be recycled to reform the glucose via gluconeogenesis.

pancreas

The ________ releases a more potent alpha- amylose into the small intestine that breaks it down into disaccharides (maltose) and trisaccharides (maltotriose)

O2

The utilization of ________ to transform glycolysis by- products into high energy molecules.

Glucose

________ is metabolized inside the cytoplasm into two pyruvate molecules and a net result of two ATP molecules.

citric acid

In the mitochondria, there are other processes like pyruvate decarboxylation and ________ cycle.

enzyme

A(n) ________ that breaks down maltose into its glucose constituents.

O2

In the presence of oxygen, certain organisms can ultimately use the ________ to transform pyruvate molecules into CO2 and ATP molecules.

Glycolysis

________ doesnt require oxygen to take place making it an anaerobic process.
