12.2 - Glycolysis Flashcards
Where glycolysis occurs The main steps in glycolysis The reactants and products of glycolysis
What is glycolysis?
Not the process, but what is it a part of?
First stage of aerobic respiration
Where does glycolysis occur?
Cytoplasm
What happens during glycolysis?
Glucose is broken down into pyruvate
Is glycolysis aerobic or anaerobic?
Anaerobic
What are the products of glycolysis?
Pyruvate
What are the reactants of glycolysis?
Glucose
What are the products of glycolysis?
4 ATP
What is the net energy gain from glycolysis?
2 ATP
What are the four stages of glycolysis?
Phosphorylation
What happens during phosphorylation?
ATP donates phosphate groups to glucose
What happens during lysis?
Phosphorylated glucose is split into triose phosphate
What happens during dehydrogenation?
Hydrogen is removed from triose phosphate
What happens during ATP production?
Triose phosphate is converted into pyruvate
How does pyruvate move after glycolysis if oxygen is available?
Active transport through mitochondrial membranes
