Glycolysis

Front

What is glycolysis?

Back

Glycolysis is a metabolic pathway that converts glucose into pyruvate, producing ATP and NADH in the process.

Front

How many molecules of NADH are produced per molecule of glucose in glycolysis?

Back

2 NADH

Front

Which of the following is not a product of glycolysis: FADH2, NADH, ATP, or Pyruvate?

Back

FADH2

Front

What is the net output of ATP and NADH when fructose-1,6-bisphosphate is processed through glycolysis?

Back

4 ATP, 2 NADH

Front

What is the first product formed in the first step of glycolysis?

Back

Glucose-6-phosphate (G6P)

Front

Where does glycolysis take place in cells?

Back

Cytoplasm

Front

What is the main purpose of glycolysis?

Back

To break down glucose for energy production.

Front

What are the end products of glycolysis?

Back

2 molecules of pyruvate, 2 molecules of ATP, and 2 molecules of NADH.

Front

What is the role of NAD+ in glycolysis?

Back

NAD+ acts as an electron carrier, being reduced to NADH during the oxidation of glucose.

Front

What is substrate-level phosphorylation in glycolysis?

Back

It is the direct synthesis of ATP from ADP and a phosphorylated intermediate.
