How are the levels of AMP and ATP related in a cell? Is glycolysis inhibited by high ATP or high AMP?
Solution
In a cell when there is a high level of AMP ,it usually indicates that the totoal energy charge in the cell is low and this means that thereis a need for ATP generation. On the other hand the high levels of ATP along with the high levels of citrate in a cell usually indicate that the overall and total energy charge is very high. the It also means that the biosynthetic intermediates are abundant.
Yes glycolysis is inhibited by high ATP because total energy is low when ATP is high.
