energy: metabolism and glycolysis Flashcards
1
Q
ATP is the cells primary source of energy
A
-
2
Q
ATP can be made by most cells from the metabolism of glucose following glycolysis
A
-
3
Q
•Glycolysis takes the 6C molecule glucose and makes 2 molecules of pyruvate and 2 molecules of ATP
A
-
4
Q
Glycolysis can proceed in the absence of O2 but the yield of ATP is low
A
-
5
Q
Muscle can continue to metabolise glucose but only if the pyruvate is converted to lactic acid as this produces NAD+ that is need for glycolysis to continue
A
-
