glucose
G3P
What is the main function of glycolysis?
To rearrange the glucose molecule to be broken down
To split the glucose molecule to release energy
To recreate acetyl CoA for the krebs cycle
To absorb and store energy in ATP molecules
What process takes place if NADH is unable to be oxidized?
Krebs Cycle
Electron Transport Chain
Chemiosmosis
Fermentation
There are 10 steps in glycolysis, how many enzymes catalyze these steps?
8
9
10
11
What are the products of glycolysis?
2 ATP, 2 NADPH, 2 pyruvate
2 ADP, 2 NADH, 2 pyruvate
2 ATP, 2 NADH, 2 pyruvate
2 ADP, 2 NADPH, 2 pyruvate
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.
