glycolysis Flashcards
1
Q
is Glycolysis Anaerobic or aerobic?
A
Glycolysis is an anaerobic step, meaning it does not require oxygen.
2
Q
Where does Glycolysis occur in the cell?
A
in the Cytoplasm of the cell.
3
Q
What does Glycolysis do?
A
Glycolysis is the splitting of a glucose molecule into two parts of pyruvic acid.
4
Q
how much ATP does Glycolysis make?
A
Glycolysis makes 4, but to break apart the Glucose, it requires 2, therefore making only 2.
5
Q
What moves into The next step?
A
Pyruvic acid is the main goal of glycolysis and these molecules will move onto the Krebs cycle.
NADH → ETC
ATP → Usable energy
