A
In the cytoplasm
2
Q
What is the starting molecule of glycolysis?
A
6C glucose
3
Q
What happens when 6C glucose is phosphoralysed? - 2 points
A
- ATP -> ADP + Pi
- 6C glucose phosphate forms
4
Q
What happens when 6C glucose phosphate is phosphorylysed? - 2 points
A
- ATP -> ADP + Pi
- 6C hexose bisphosphate forms
5
Q
What is produced when 6C hexose bisphosphate is split? - 2 points
A
- 2x 3C triose phosphate
6
Q
What happens when 2x 3C triose phosphate is oxidised? 2 points
A
- 2x 3C pyruvate forms
- 4ATP -> 4ADP + Pi, 2NAD -> 2NADH,
