2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the main purpose of glycolysis?

Back

The main purpose of glycolysis is to extract energy from glucose by breaking it down into pyruvate, which can then enter the Krebs cycle or fermentation.

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is phosphorylation?

Back

Phosphorylation is the addition of a phosphate group to a molecule, often used to activate or deactivate enzymes.

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the role of NADH in glycolysis?

Back

NADH is produced during glycolysis and carries high-energy electrons to the electron transport chain (ETC) for ATP synthesis.

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the significance of glycolysis in evolution?

Back

Glycolysis allowed early organisms to generate energy from glucose in the absence of oxygen, making it a crucial evolutionary development.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is oxidation in biochemical terms?

Back

Oxidation refers to the loss of electrons from a molecule, often associated with the release of energy.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
