Chapter 7- notes 7-1 Flashcards
Glycolysis
A biochemical pathway in witch one sixcarbon molecule of glucose is broken down to make two 3 carbon molecules of Pyretic acid
Lactic acid fermentation
When an enzyme converts pyruvic acid made during glycolysis into another three carbon compound
DONEST Require oxygen
Alcohol fermentation
To convert pyruvic acid into ethanol alcohol
Glycolysis takes place
In the cytosol
During glycolysis glucose is
Partly broken down and some of the stored energy is released
Both lactic acid fermentation and alcohol fermentation produce
NAD+ from NADH in H+
Why are fermentation pathways referred to as the anaerobic pathways
Because fermentation pathways can operate without oxygen
Glycolysis
Makes ATP and pyruvic acid
Cellular respiration
The process in witch cells make ATP by breaking dork organic compounds
