Respiration 2 (glycolysis) Flashcards

1
Q

overview of gylcolysis

A

Glycolysis is the first stage of respiration
It takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell and involves:
Trapping glucose in the cell by phosphorylating the molecule
Splitting the glucose molecule in two
It results in the production of
2 Pyruvate (3C) molecules
Net gain 2 ATP
2 reduced NAD

Q

first step of glycolysis

A

Phosphorylation: glucose (6C) is phosphorylated by 2 ATP to form fructose bisphosphate (6C)
Glucose + 2ATP → Fructose bisphosphate

Q

Third step of glycolysis

A

Oxidation: hydrogen is removed from each molecule of triose phosphate and transferred to coenzyme NAD to form 2 reduced NAD
4H + 2NAD → 2NADH + 2H+

Q

Fourth step of glycolysis

A

Dephosphorylation: phosphates are transferred from the intermediate substrate molecules to form 4 ATP through substrate-linked phosphorylation
4Pi + 4ADP → 4ATP

Q

Final step, what is produced

A

Pyruvate is produced: the end product of glycolysis which can be used in the next stage of respiration
2 Triose phosphate → 2 Pyruvate
