Glycolysis

Front

What is glycolysis?

Back

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

Front

Where does glycolysis occur in the cell?

Back

Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell.

Front

What is the starting molecule for glycolysis?

Back

The starting molecule for glycolysis is glucose.

Front

What is the end product of glycolysis?

Back

The end product of glycolysis is pyruvic acid (pyruvate).

Front

What type of respiration does glycolysis represent?

Back

Glycolysis can occur under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions.

Front

What is the first step of cellular respiration?

Back

The first step of cellular respiration is glycolysis.

Front

What is anaerobic respiration?

Back

Anaerobic respiration is a type of respiration that does not use oxygen.

Front

What is the role of ATP in glycolysis?

Back

ATP provides the energy required to initiate the glycolysis process.

Front

What is NADH and its role in glycolysis?

Back

NADH is a coenzyme that carries electrons and is produced during glycolysis, playing a crucial role in energy production.

Front

How many ATP molecules are produced in glycolysis?

Back

A net gain of 2 ATP molecules is produced during glycolysis.
