Respiration
Glycolysis
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| 4 key stages of respiration | Glycolysis (cytoplasym Link reaction (Mitochondrial matrix) Krebs cycle (mitochondrial matrix) Oxidative phosphorylation (Mitochondrial inner membrane-cristae) |
| What is glycolysis | This occurs in the cytoplasm and is the first stage of aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration. |
| What happens in glycolysis | Glucose (6c) is phosphorolated to glucose phosphate. Glucose phosphate (6c) is then made into 2 x triose phosphate (3c) Oxidation of triosphosphate produces pyruvate (3c) |
| What happens when oxidation occurs here | The coenzyme NAD is reduced to NADH |
| What are the products | 2x pyruvate Net gain of 2 ATP 2x NADH |
