glyocolysis 12.1

Question 1

what are the 4 stages of aerobic respirations

Answer 1

glycolysis, link reaction, krebs cycle, oxidative phosphorylation

Question 2

what happens during glycolyisis

Answer 2

a 6-carbon (glucose) molecule is split into two 3-carbon molecules called pyruvate

Question 3

what are the 4 stages of glycolysis?

Answer 3

phosphorylation of glucose to glucose phosphate,
splitting of the phosphorylated glucose,
oxidation of triose phosphate,
production of ATP.

Question 4

what happens during the phosphorylation of glucose to glucose phosphate?

Answer 4

2 phosphate molecules are added to the glucose to make it more reactive

Question 5

where do the phosphate molecules come from for phosphorylation?

Answer 5

hydrolysis of 2 ATP molecules

Question 6

what happens during the oxidation of triose phosphate?

Answer 6

hydrogen is removed from each of the triose phosphate molecules and transferred to NAD.

Question 7

How does the production of ATP occur in glycolysis?

Answer 7

enzyme controlled reactions convert each triose phosphate into pyruvate and in turn convert 2 ADP to ATP

Question 8

what is the overall yield of glycolysis

Answer 8

2 ATP molecules
2 Reduced NAD
2 pyruvate
