Q

What is Glycolysis

A

A universal pathway that splits glucose into two 3 carbon molecules named Pyruvate.
. It requires 10 steps in the cytoplasm non of which require O2

2
Q

Because glycolysis does not require o2 it can be in

A

Glycolysis can take place in aerobic and anaerobic environments

3
Q

Describe the first 5 steps of Glycolisis

A

GLUCOSE ACTIVATION

ATP is used to activate glucose redistributing energy in the molecule and splitting it in half.

4
Q

The last 5 steps of Glycolysis

A

ENERGY EXTRACTION

Stores some energy in 2 molecules of electron carrier, NADH.
Other steps extract more of the energy, regaining the two ATP molecules invested earlier plus producing two more.

5
Q

The net gain of Gly

A

pyruvate
2 NADHS per molecule of glucose
2 ATPS ‘’ ‘’

6
Q

Substrate-Level Phosphorylation

A

The means by which Glycolysis produces ATP.

A high energy donor molecule enzyme physically transfers a phosphate group to ADP,forming ATP

7
Q

The opposite of Substrate-Level Phosphorylation

A

Chemismotic Phosphorylation

8
Q

Chemismotic Phosphorylation

A

Requires a proton gradient to add a phosphate group to ADP
