mnemonic to help remember glycolysis enzymes!

[Pre-Dental'15]

It helped me and I was kind of excited about it, so I wanted to help someone out there who is just starting out and studying bio for the DAT. so..
Hungry Pirates Pick All The Greatest Pickled Pumpkins Ever Picked= Hexokinase, phosphogly Isomerase, phosphofruc kinase, aldolase, triose phosphate, glyceraldyhyde 3 p dehydrogenase, phosphoglycerate kinase, phosphoglycerate mutase, enolose, pyruvate kinase.

Bold= ATP to ADP
underlined= ADP to ATP

good luck, see you all on te other side of the DAT hell

Is this a mnemonic or a tongue twister? 😛 Anyway, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the name of each enzyme is important. Just know the product of each step and what else is used/produced during that step (such as ADP being used to get ATP) along with the other concepts related to it. Having that down makes it easy to know what TYPE of enzymes are used at each step; kinase, isomerase, lyase, dehydrogenase, mutase(a type of isomerase)

The enzymes are way too in depth. Just know that glycolysis is exergonic, uses 2 ATP to make 4 ATP, 2 pyruvate, and 2 NADH.
