Cellular respiration ( glycolysis- investment phase ) Flashcards
the harvest of energy by oxidizing glucose to pyruvate
glycolysis
what is being oxidized in glycolysis
glucose
product of glycolysis
pyruvate
meaning of glycolysis
splitting of sugar
what is a 6 carbon sugar
glucose
what is a 3 carbon sugar
pyruvate
why is 2 molecules of pyruvate produced at the end of the reaction
glucose (6-Carbon sugar) is split into 2 pyruvate (3-Carbon sugar)
how many steps does glycolysis involves?
10 steps
state the 2 major phases in glycolysis
investment phase
pay-off phase
do glycolysis are able to occur when there is no oxygen?
yes
name the process when no oxygen is present
fermentation
name the process when there is presence of oxygen
cellular respiration
what was added to glucose at the beginning of the reaction?
a phosphate group
state the reactant of glucose-6-phosphate
glucose + ATP
state the substance before fructose-6-phosphate
glucose-6-phosphate
