Glucose Oxydation Flashcards
What is the result of oxydation?
Electron loss, loses H
What is the result of reduction?
Electron gain, Gain H
What are the 4 main stages of glucose oxydation?
1-glycolysis
2-Pyruvate breakdown
3-Citric acid cycle
4-Electron tranport chain (ETC)
Where does glycolysis ocur?
In the cytoplasm
Where does the citric acid occur?
In the matrix of the mitochondria
How many pyruvates are created after the glycolysis
2
Write down the complete equation of the breakdown of glucose (cellular repiration)
C6H12O6 + 602 — 6CO2 +6 H2O
Delta G of the breakdown of glucose is positive or negative?
Negative
Why does the energy is transferred?
To make ATP
What is the outcome of the glycolysis?
-2 pyruvates
-4 ATP (net gain of only 2 b/c 2 was use in the beginning of the reaction)
-2 NADH
Write down the what a pyruvates would look like
How is ATP made in the cytosol during glycolisys?
By substrate level phosphorylation
What are the three main step of Glycolysis?
1-priming
2-cleavage
3-harvest energy
