Glycolysis

Question 1

Two Modes

Answer 1

Aerobic (with oxygen): More ATP 36 ATP per glucose

Anaerobic (without oxygen): Less ATP 2 ATP per glucose

Question 2

Glucose Activation

Answer 2

Enzymes: Hexokinase (I-III) for most cells, Glucokinase (IV) in liver/pancreas.

Function: Adds phosphate to glucose, adjusting to glucose levels and usage rates.

Question 3

TCA Cycle steps

Answer 3

Step 1: Glycolysis

Step 2: Conversion of Pyruvate to Acetyl-CoA

Step 3: Krebs Cycle (per glucose so X2)
