Energy Investment Phase
Addition of phosphate from ATP to glucose6P using the enzyme of Hexokinase
Glucose 6 phosphate converted to fructose 6-phosphate
6 carbon sugar splits into two molecules of 3 carbon each forming DHAP and G3P. Eventually DHAP converts G3P , so at the end we have 2 molecules of G3P from 1 molecule of glucose
Energy payoff phase
(1) G3P is oxidized by the transfer of electrons to NAD+ , forming NADH
Phosphate group is transferred to ADP (substrate-level phosphorylation) in an exergonic reaction. The carbonyl group of G3P has been oxidized to the carboxyl group (-COO-) of an organic acid (3- phosphoglycerate)
Enzyme relocates remaining phosphate group
Enolase causes a double bond to form in the substrate by extracting a water molecule, yielding phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) , compound with high potential energy
Phosphate group is transferred from PEP to ADP (second example of substrate- level phosphorylation) forming pyruvate
(2) Using energy from this exergonic redox reaction a phosphate group is attached to the oxidized substrate , making a high-energy product

Translation
Occurs in the cytoplasm for both eukaryotes and prokaryotes. However, in eukaryotes it is spatially separated from transcription while in prokaryotes it is coupled with it.
Prokaryotes: First tRNA carries formyl methionine; 30s and 50s = 70s ribosome; Has shine dalgarno. Eukaryotes: First tRNA carries methionine; 40s and 60s = 80s ribosome; Binds to 5' end until start codon. Both: Initiator tRNA binds to start codon and large ribosomal subunit joins to form initiation complex.
Polypeptide chains get longer; Ribosomes have 3 binding sites; First tRNA starts at the P site (anticodons of tRNA with codons of mRNA). The A site next to it allows for a tRNA to bind to matching codon forming a peptide bond and then shifting mRNA forward by a codon allowing the empty tRNA to exit through the E site.
Translation comes to an end; Occurs when a stop codon in the mRNA enters the A site. Proteins called release factors recognize stop codons (fit into p site).
Endomembrane System
Secretory Pathway: path taken by a protein in a cell on synthesis to modification and then release out of the cell (secretion)
Targeting Proteins to the ER
Polypeptide synthesis begins on free ribosomes in the cytosol
An SRP binds to the signal peptide, halting synthesis momentarily
The SRP binds to a receptor protein in the ER membrane, part of a protein complex that forms a pore.
The SRP leaves, and polypeptide synthesis resumes, with simultaneous translocation across the membrane
The signal peptide is cleaved by an enzyme in the receptor protein complex
The rest of the completed polypeptide leaves the ribosome and folds into its final conformation.
2 ways
1st way: ER (inside of cell "cytoplasm")
go through organelles
Mitochondria
chloroplasts
peroxisomes
nucleus
The nuclear envelope is connected to the rough ER which is also continuous with the smooth ER.
Membranes and proteins produced by the ER move via transport vesicles to the Golgi
The Golgi pinches off transport vesicles and other vesicles that give rise to lysosomes, other types of specialized vesicles, and vacuoles.
The lysosome is available for fusion with another vesicle for digestion.
A transport vesicle carries proteins to the plasma membrane for secretion
