Glycolysis Overview and Mnemonics

are you ready to remember drag Eliza's in just three minutes this video is just for you you need to know three things to know glycolysis in three minutes what are they your great grandmother great grandmother actually when she bakes pies remember she baked pies and the pie itself and yourself with a smartphone all the time so if you know these two things you can connect and you can easily remember glycolysis within three minutes so let's start glycolysis is a metabolic process of converting glucose into pyruvate and actually it is going through ten separate stages actually ten steps are required with tens different enzymes so there are nine eleven different intermediates so let's talk about each of them so the first part that I'm going to talk about is the steps on all the other intermediates of the glycolysis and for that you need to know your great-grandmother a PI and the number ten why 10 because it carried ten separate intermediates so let's begin to know the acronym and actually the mnemonic great-grandmother throws fresh fruit dish and go by picking pumpkins to prepare pies this is what you need to remember great-grandmother throws fresh fruit dish and go by picking pumpkins to prepare pies now remember in this throughout this long sentence it's all about making pie actually making pumpkin pie by your great-grandmother and the colors represented here in red means the the first letters represent the intermediates of glycolysis and the green letters are the important steps of glycolysis so let's begin with the first one so great it starts with G means glucose another G glucose 6-phosphate then if R remember fructose 6-phosphate if are you what else is that fructose 1 6 bisphosphate then di died hydroxy acetone phosphate and then G again glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate then B actually by no 1 3 bisphosphoglycerate you also have a pioneer then P 3 phosphoglycerate then another p2 phosphoglycerate then another P and actually it's p EP prepared so phosphoenolpyruvate which is also known as p EP and then ultimately PI's pyruvate so that's was starting from glucose ending in pyruvate all the different intermediates of glycolysis you can see ten separate intermediates out there so as there is ten separate intermediates you can also see the intermediates in the actual list taken from Nelson and Cox and this book you can also see we're going from glucose till pyruvate and I told you this green colored drawings that we that we showed earlier that is dye pie so all these things die is dihydroxyacetone phosphate and you know dihydroxyacetone phosphate is the one which will which is a branch point of this glycolysis it's the middle of the glycolysis so any of the steps upward are known as preparatory phase that means in those steps in glycolysis they take ATP and the letter states after the die or dihydroxyacetone phosphate they are known as the reproductive phase so in this case they produce ATP okay so that's how easy it is not only to know the intermediates but also to know the important steps now let's talk about the enzymes that are involved to understand enzymes you need to know yourself with again thinking of PI because remember your grandmother prepared pie for you so you need to eat that pie but right now you're talking with a phone so he put the phone and tried to get the plastic plate to eat pie this is another sentence that you need to remember right so begins he so remember this will be the list of enzymes required in every single steps so starts with if you look at here let me also show you the actual picture he H he hit so kinase and the first enzyme required in the first phase then P phosphofructokinase the second enzyme which is involved then another pho first so obviously phosphofructokinase the third enzyme inward then a aldol is the fourth enzyme involved dri triose phosphate isomerase c triosephosphate isomerase the fifth enzyme involved g glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase sixth enzyme utilized then p phosphoglycerate kinase seventh enzyme another p phosphoglycerate mutase eighth enzyme E what in ole's ninth enzyme and TI pyruvate kinase so it simply sounds like pi that's why I took it pyruvate kinase last enzyme but the tenth enzyme of this process so you see it's it's a rule of 10 with 10 enzymes and intermediates that are involved and it's all about your great-grandmother preparing PI for you and then you're putting your phone try to get the plastic plate to eat pie so hope you get an understanding of how to remember glycolysis in very very less time so if you like this video please hit the like button share this video with your friends and subscribe to my channel to get more and more self help education videos like that
