1
Q

A
A type of monosaccharide sugar used in glycolysis to produce ATP; is broken down in the first stage of cellular respiration.
2
Q
Glycolysis
A
The first stage of cellular respiration which breaks a molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate.
3
Q
Phopshorylation
A
The transfer of a phosphate group from an ATP molecule to another molecule, thus the transfer of energy to that molecule.
4
Q
Pyruvate
A
A three-carbon sugar produced when glucose is broken down in the glycolysis phase of cellular respiration.
