Electron Carriers and Overview of Respiration Steps (H)

Front

What is the investment of ATP in glycolysis?

Back

2 ATP are invested in glycolysis.

Front

What are the products of glycolysis?

Back

2 molecules of pyruvic acid are produced in glycolysis.

Front

Where does glycolysis occur in the cell?

Back

Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm.

Front

Is glycolysis the second stage of cellular respiration?

Back

False, glycolysis is the first stage of cellular respiration.

Front

What molecule does glycolysis begin with?

Back

Glycolysis begins with glucose.

Front

What is the main purpose of glycolysis?

Back

The main purpose of glycolysis is to break down glucose into pyruvic acid and produce ATP.

Front

What are electron carriers in cellular respiration?

Back

Electron carriers are molecules that transport electrons during cellular respiration, such as NAD+ and FAD.

Front

What is the role of NAD+ in glycolysis?

Back

NAD+ acts as an electron carrier, accepting electrons during glycolysis to form NADH.

Front

What happens to pyruvic acid after glycolysis?

Back

Pyruvic acid can be further processed in the Krebs cycle or converted to lactic acid or ethanol during fermentation.

Front

What is the net gain of ATP from glycolysis?

Back

The net gain of ATP from glycolysis is 2 ATP.
