Why does the glycolytic pathway continue in the direction of glucose catabolism? There are essentially three irreversible reactions that act as the driving force for the pathway High levels of ATP keep the pathway going in a forward direction The enzymes of glycolysis only function in one direction Glycolysis occurs in either direction TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?
The glycolytic pathway (glucose → 2 pyruvate) is found only in eukaryotes only in yeast in all living organisms primarily in animals excluding particles TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?
Which of the following is not a mechanism for altering the flux of metabolites through the rate-determining step of a pathway? Covalent modification of the enzyme Diffusional coupling between adjacent active sites Genetic control of the enzyme concentration Allosteric control of the enzyme activity TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?
Phosphofructokinase, the major flux-controlling enzyme of glycolysis is allosterically inhibited and activated respectively by ATP and ADP AMP and Pi Citrate and ATP ATP and PEP TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?

The released energy obtained by oxidation of glucose is stored as ADP a concentration gradient across a membrane NAD+ ATP TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?
A kinase is an enzyme that removes water from a double bond removes phosphate groups of substrates uses NADH to change the oxidation state of the substrate uses ATP to add a phosphate group to the substrate TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?
