3 main factors in glycolysis are: 1) energy substrate 2) redox potential 3) acid-base regulation

How does lactate production help to regulate the rate of glycolysis?

Solution

Glycolysis

ADP+ Pi ATP

2. Redox Potential\';

The redox potential is the ratio of oxidizing agent ( NAD+) to reducing agent NADH2

3. Acid base balance

Maintaining stable anion cation ratio .in glycolysis proton productive reaction are

Glucose ----------------------- CH3 CHOCOO-+ 2H+

During normal condition Glycolysis form 2NADH2 and two molecules of pyruvate are formed. Pyruvate goes to Krebs\' cycle normally but during exercise energy demands exceed the oxygen supply in Electron transport chain NADH2 donates electron to pyruvate to form lactate

Lactate dehydrogenase

Pyruvate + NADH ---------------------------- lactate + NAD+ + H+
