Glycolysis Flashcards
1
Q
What is being converted during glycolysis? What is being generated?
A
1 molecule glucose –> 2 molecules pyruvate
Generates ATP and NADH
2
Q
Where does glycolysis occur
A
In the cytosol
3
Q
Under what conditions does glycolysis typically occur
A
Aerobic, can also occur under anaerobic
4
Q
What are the two stages of glycolysis
A
Stage 1 = energy investment (activate glucose, small amount of ATP consumed)
Stage 2 = energy payout (ATP harvested, NADH generated)
5
Q
What does hexokinase turn glucose into
A
Glucose-6-phosphate
