5.2.2 Glycolysis ONLY (respiration) Flashcards
1
Q
Glycolysis is…
A
The conversion of glucose to pyruvate in respiration
2
Q
The first stage is…
A
The phosphorylation of glucose
3
Q
Glucose is phosphorylated to… using…
A
Hexose bisphosphate, using 2x ATP to 2x ADP
4
Q
Hexose bisphosphate is…
A
An unstable 6 carbon molecule
5
Q
Hexose bisphosphate decays to…
A
2 molecules of triose phosphate / TP (3C)
6
Q
Stage 2 is…
A
The oxidation of triose phosphate to pyruvate
7
Q
Triose phosphate is converted to… using…
A
Pyruvate (3C), converting NAD to rNAD, and 2x ADP + Pi to 2x ATP
8
Q
Third stage?
A
Substrate level phosphorylation (ATP formed by a substrate - TP - reacting)
9
Q
Net yield?
A
2 pyruvate, 2 rNAD, 2 ATP (used 2 to begin the reaction)
