Glycolysis requires oxygen.

a)

True

b)

False

To rearrange the glucose molecule to be broken down

b)

To split the glucose molecule to release energy

c)

To recreate acetyl CoA for the krebs cycle

a)

8

b)

9

c)

10

d)

11

7.

What are the products of glycolysis?

a)

2 ATP, 2 NADPH, 2 pyruvate

b)

2 ADP, 2 NADH, 2 pyruvate

c)

2 ATP, 2 NADH, 2 pyruvate

d)

2 ADP, 2 NADPH, 2 pyruvate

8.

How does glycolysis lead to ATP synthesis?

a)

Glucose provides the phosphate for ADP to synthesize ATP

b)

Glycolysis splits the glucose molecule to create G3P

c)

High energy electrons are stored in NADH for the ETC

d)

Acetyl CoA is synthesized for the Krebs cycle

9.

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

a)

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

b)

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

c)

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

d)

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

10.

Justify that glycolysis evolved prior to the mitochondria.

a)

Glycolysis takes place in the cytosol.

b)

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

c)

Glycolysis has instructions in the nuclear DNA.

d)

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