Glycolosis

Question 1

What is glycolosis in a nutshell

Answer 1

series of 10 catalyzed reactions

Question 2

where does glycolosis take place

Answer 2

in cytoplasm

Question 3

does glycolosis require o2

Answer 3

no cuz of anaerobic but can function with o2 aerobic.

Question 4

What happens to the glucose molecule?

Answer 4

its a 6-c molecule that splits into 3-c pyruvates

Question 5

overall chemical reaction for glycolosis is

Answer 5

glucose + 2 ADP + 2 P i + 2 NAD + → 2 pyruvate + 2 ATP + 2 NADH + 2H +

Question 6

how much free energy is captured from one mol of glucose

Answer 6

only 2% of free energy is captured from one mol of glucose.

Question 7

what is the earliest form of energy?

Answer 7

metabolism

Question 8

Describe steps of Glycolytic pathway

Answer 8

1) ATP is used to add a phosphate onto Glucose turning it into Glucose - 6 phosphate,
2) then this turns into Fructose - 6 Phosphate,
3) another atp is used to add another phosphate turning Fructose -6 phosphate into Fructose - 6 bisphosphate
4) Splitting occurs and the 6 - C molecule turns into 3 -C molecules
5) Pgal occurs and the loss of electrons occurs ( how many?)
6)oxidation occurs, each 3-c molecule loses electrons and NAD + turns into NADH
7)enough energy is released to add P to ADP which resuults into ATP production
8) second phosphate is released creating another ATP and forming pyruvate.

in total for both pathways
4 ATP Created
2 ATP used
2 NADH made
2 Pyruvate
