Cellular Respiration Overview and Glycolysis

Front

What does the 'TP' in ATP stand for?

Back

tri (3) phosphates

Front

Does glycolysis occur during aerobic or anaerobic conditions?

Back

True

Front

What is the starting molecule for glycolysis?

Back

Glucose

Front

What is the net gain of ATP from glycolysis?

Back

2 ATP

Front

Which process takes place in the cytoplasm of a cell?

Back

Glycolysis

Front

What is the primary function of glycolysis?

Back

To break down glucose into pyruvate, producing ATP and NADH.

Front

What are the end products of glycolysis?

Back

2 pyruvate, 2 ATP, and 2 NADH.

Front

What is the role of NAD+ in glycolysis?

Back

NAD+ acts as an electron carrier, being reduced to NADH.

Front

What is the significance of the energy investment phase in glycolysis?

Back

It requires 2 ATP to phosphorylate glucose, preparing it for breakdown.

Front

What happens to pyruvate after glycolysis under aerobic conditions?

Back

It enters the mitochondria and is converted to Acetyl CoA.
