Glycolyis Flashcards
Is glycolysis catabolic or anabolic
Catabolic
Anaerobic respiration
Without oxygen
Fermentation
Partial degradation of sugars
Aerobic respiration
Requires oxygen
Fond in mammals and is much more efficient than fermentation
What is the importance of redox reactions
As electrons are transferred from glucose to oxygen electrons drop in every level and energy is transferred
This allows stored energy to be released
Is cellular respiration exergonic or endergonic?
Exergonic
How much energy does ATP have?
31 kj/mol
4 stages of cell respiration
① glycolysis
② oxidative decarboxylation
③ Krebs cycle
④ oxidative phosphorylation
How does glucose more through a cell?
It enters the cell through facilitated diffusion with carrier specific transporter proteins that more it from outside the cell into cytosol
Where are glycolytic enzymes found?
Cytosol
