Fig. 1.6 Macronutrient fuel sources that supply substrates for regenerating ATP
Key Concepts (the big picture): glucose is the universal fuel for human cells glucose is converted in a ten-step reaction sequence to two molecules of the three carbon compound pyruvate the principal functions of glycolysis are the conversion of glucose to pyruvate to facilitate its eventual complete oxidation to CO2 and H2O and the generation of ATP during strenuous exercise when oxygen is limiting the end product of glycolysis is lactate.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW!! You should: be familiar with the overall pathway of glycolysis understand the roles of hexokinase and glucokinase in the first step of glycolysis understand the importance of substrate level phosphorylation for ATP generation in glycolysis understand the importance of the electron acceptor NAD+ for continuous operation of the glycolytic l l ti pathway th and d the th role l of f lactate l t t dehydrogenase in generating NAD+ under anaerobic conditions. understand the role of the Cori cycle understand the regulation of glycolysis
