How does glycolysis lead to ATP synthesis?

• Glucose provides the phosphate for ADP to synthesize ATP

• Glycolysis splits the glucose molecule to create G3P

• High energy electrons are stored in NADH for the ETC

• Acetyl CoA is synthesized for the Krebs cycle

Justify that glycolysis evolved before oxygen was present in the atmosphere.

• Glycolysis does not require oxygen which represents that it evolved prior to free oxygen in the atmosphere

• Glycolysis does not take place in the mitochondria and thus does not require oxygen

• Glycolysis splits a glucose molecule into 2 pyruvate molecules which does not require oxygen

• Glycolysis takes place in all living organisms which means it evolved prior to free oxygen in the atmosphere

Justify that glycolysis evolved prior to the mitochondria.

• Glycolysis takes place in the cytosol

• Glycolysis does not require a membrane which represents that it evolved prior to membrane bound organelles

• Glycolysis has instructions in the nuclear DNA

• Glycolysis does not require mitochondrial DNA which represents that it evolved prior to membrane bound organelles
