Glycolysis Flashcards
1
Q
1
A
Glycolysis is the breakdown of 6-carbon glucose into two 3-carbon
pyruvic acid units.
2
Q
2
A
. Although some energy is needed to start glycolysis there is an overall net gain of 2 ATP.
3
Q
3
A
. The hydrogens removed join with the hydrogen carrier NAD+ to
form NADH
4
Q
4
A
Glycolysis creates a chemical called NADH as the resulting product.
5
Q
5
A
By transferring high energy electrons to NAD and adding a hydrogen ion, the mitochondria will use the NADH later in the process.
6
Q
6
A
The pyruvate then moves into the mitochondria where an enzyme converts pyruvate into a two-carbon molecule called acetyl-CoA, which enters the Krebs cycle.
