Cellular Respiration & Glycolysis (Q2) Flashcards
A metabolic pathway that breaks down glucose and
produces ATP
Cellular respiration
Two reactants of cellular respiration
Glucose, oxygen
Three products of cellular respiration
Carbon dioxide, water, ATP
Is cellular respiration endergonic or exergonic?
Exergonic, because it releases energy
Is cellular respiration spontaneous or non-spontaneous?
Spontaneous
Four stages of cellular respiration (in order)
- Glycolysis
- Pyruvate oxidation
- Citric acid cycle/Krebs cycle
- Oxidative phosphorylation
From the two terms “glyco” and “lysis”, what does glycolysis literally mean?
sugar splitting
Series of reactions that extract energy from glucose by splitting it into two three-carbon molecules called pyruvates
Glycolysis
Where does glycolysis occur?
In the cytosol
True or False: Glycolysis requires oxygen.
False, glycolysis does not require oxygen. Because of this, it can happen in aerobic and anaerobic respiration.
Two phases of glycolysis
Investment Phase (Steps 1 - 5 of glycolysis)
Payoff Phase (Steps 6 - 10 of glycolysis)
Step 1: ______ is phosphorylated into ______ with the enzyme ______.
Glucose, glucose 6-phosphate, hexokinase
Step 2: ______ is isomerized into ______ with the enzyme ______.
Glucose 6-phosphate, fructose 6-phosphate, phosphoglucose isomerase
Step 3: ______ is phosphorylated into ______ with the enzyme ______.
Fructose 6-phosphate, fructose 1,6-bisphosphate, phosphofructokinase
Step 4: ______ is converted into two three-carbon intermediates, ______ and ______, through the enzyme ______.
Fructose 1,6-bisphosphate, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, dihydroxyacetone phosphate, aldolase
