Features of glycolysis

Question 1

anaerobic pathway

Answer 1

cells generate energy from glucose without the use of oxygen

Question 2

takes place in cytoplasm?

Answer 2

glycolysis

Question 3

which process has 10 steps?

Answer 3

glycolysis- 2 ATP are invested in the first 5 steps and in the last 5 steps, energy is extracted in the form of high energy electrons and substrate level phosphorylation

Question 4

what are the forms of energy produced during glycolysis?

Answer 4

2 ATP, 2 pyruvate, and 2 NADH

Question 5

what is substrate level phosphorylation?

Answer 5

synthesis of ATP from ADP and phosphate by coupling the reaction to a highly exergonic reaction

Question 6

what happens to NADH that is produced during glycolysis?

Answer 6

NADH is used to make lactate from pyruvate

Question 7

which electron acceptor is reduced in the energy yielding phase pf glycolysis?

Answer 7

NAD+

Question 8

what is the end product of glycolysis that enters the mitochondria?

Answer 8

pyruvate
