Glycolysis Stage Flashcards
1
Q
What is glycolysis
A
Glycolysis is the breakdown of glucose into pyruvate in the cytoplasm
2
Q
What is ATP required for
A
ATP is required for the phosphorylation of glucose and intermediates during the energy investment phase of glycolysis.
3
Q
Energy investment stage of glycolysis…
A
This leads to the generation of more ATP during the energy pay off stage and results in a net gain of ATP.
4
Q
What happens in aerobic conditions
A
Pyruvate is broken down to an acetyl group that combines with co-enzyme A forming acetyl co-enzyme A.
