Glycolysis Flashcards
(7 cards)
1
Q
Where does glycolysis occur?
A
The cell cytoplasm.
2
Q
What is glucose converted to and how?
A
Fructose bisphosphate, by substrate level phosphorylation. (2ATP>2ADP +Pi)
3
Q
What is fructose bisphosphate converted to?
A
2x triose phosphates
4
Q
What happens to each triose phosphate?
A
Each triose phosphate is oxidised when dehydrogenase removes H atoms. This converts triose phosphate to pyruvate.
5
Q
What is the purpose of the removal of H?
A
NAD picks up H to form NADH.
6
Q
What occurs do to the production of pyruvate?
A
Dehydrogenation of triose phosphate to pyruvate releases energy which allows 2 ADP to be phosphorylated to 2 ATP per pyruvate.
7
Q
What is the net ATP yield?
A
2 ATP.
