Cell Respiration: Part 5 : Glycolysis Flashcards
1
Q
How many molecules of Pyruvic Acid does glucose produce?
A
2 molecules of Pyruvic Acid.
2
Q
What does Glycolysis produce?
A
Glycolysis produces Pyruvic Acid and a small amount of ATP.
3
Q
Where does Glycolysis occur?
A
It occurs in the Cytoplasm.
4
Q
What is Glycolysis?
A
It is a complex multistep process, each step is controlled by a different enzyme.
5
Q
What happens during Glycolysis?
A
2 molecules of ATP supply Ea (Energy of Activation).
Glycolysis releases 4 ATP molecules, resulting in a net gain of 2 ATP molecules.
6
Q
What is the formula?
A
1 Glucose + 2 ATP———-> 2 pyruvate + 4 ATP + 2 NADH (net gain of 2 ATP).
