glycolysis
ch 9- exam 3- glycolysis
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What does glycolysis mean? | process of breaking down glucose to generate energy into pyruvate, producing ATP and NADH |
| Where do glycolysis reactions occur? | cytoplasm |
| Example of glycolysis metabolic pathway | a series of interlinked chemical reactions |
| number of chemical reactions? | 10 |
| What is the function of gycolysis pathway? | Make energy from glucose |
| Under what conditions does glycolysis happen? | under both oxygen (aerobic) and without oxygen (anaerobic) |
| What are the starting substrates, the end products of the overall pathway | glucose is broken down into 2 pyruvate molecules, producing 2 ATP and 2 NADH |
| Describe what is meant by glycolysis having an energy investment phase | where 2 ATP are used |
| Describe what is meant by glycolysis having an energy pay off phase | where 4 ATP and 2 NADH are produced, resulting in a net gain of 2 ATP. |
| Is there a net production of ATP via glycolysis? | yes, net production of 2 ATP molecules |
| What are the substrates that catalyzes the first reaction in glycolysis | Glucose and ATP |
| What are the products that catalyzes the first reaction in glycolysis | Glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) and ADP |
| What is the enzyme that catalyzes the first reaction in glycolysis | Hexokinase |
