C1.2 Glycolysis Flashcards
Steps
1
Q
What happens to glucose molecule in stage 1of glycolysis?
A
glucose is phosphorylated with use of 2 ATP molecules
2
Q
What happens after phosphorylation in glycolysis?
A
lysis, glucose splits in half (3 carbon)
3
Q
What happens after lysis in glycolysis?
A
removing hydrogen and oxidation of each G3P molecule which reduces two molecules of NAD to NADH
4
Q
What are the products of glycolysis?
A
4 ATP, 2 pyruvate, 2 NADH
5
Q
What is substrate-level phosphorylation?
A
producing ATP by transferring phosphate group to ADP
6
Q
Why humans produce lactate?
A
to regenerate the NAD from NADH
