Glycolysis Flashcards
1
Q
Where does glycolysis take place?
A
in the cytoplasm - not in the mitochondria
2
Q
Is glycolysis anaeoribc or aerobic?
A
anaerobic - doesnt need oxygen
3
Q
What is the net yield of glycolysis?
A
2 ATP
2 NADH
4
Q
What happens during glycolysis?
A
glucose is phosphorylated by adding ATp to become Glucose phosphate and then broken down into hexose biophosphate
2 x triose phosphate is oxidised to form pyruvate
pyruvate is actively transported into the mitochondria for link reaction
