Frage 68

Frage
How does citrate influence glycolysis?
Antworten
  • Phosphofructokinase is inhibited by citrate, which is an intermediate in the citric acid cycle
  • Thus, if citrate levels are high, the enzyme is inhibited, and fewer glucose molecules are metabolized
  • In this sense, citrate serves as a cell indicator
  • High levels of citrate in the cytoplasm means that biosynthetic precursors are abundant, and sot here is no need to degrade additional glucose for this purpose

Describe the two isoforms of lactate dehydrogenase
Antworten
  • Two forms exist, called M and H, which predominate in the skeletal and heart muscle, respectively

  • The two forms differ in their sensitivity to pyruvate
  • H+ functions primarily to oxidize lactate to pyruvate, which serves as a fuel for aerobic metabolism. In contrast, M4 produces lactate so that glycolysis can continue under anaerobic conditions

Frage 70

Frage

Antworten
  • During periods of biosynthesis, oxaloacetate may be converted to amino acids for protein synthesis
  • Even if acetyl-CoA will operate at reduced levels until new oxaloacetate is formed
