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

yes
name the process when no oxygen is present
fermentation
name the process when there is presence of oxygen
