Cellular respiration Flashcards
breaking down of glucose to 2 pyruvate molecules
glycolysis
does glycolysis require oxygen
no
what is oxidized and reduced during cellular respiration
oxidized: glucose to carbon dioxide
reduced: oxygen to water
complete equation of cellular respiration
glucose + 6 oxygen -> 6 carbon dioxide + 6 water + energy
where does glycolysis occur
cytoplasm
