Glycolysis Flashcards
How does Glycolysis occur?
Through the oxidation (loss of H and e-) or the splitting of Glucose.
Where does Glycolysis occur?
It occurs in the cytosol
What is the net-gain of ATP?
the net gain is 2 ATP
What is the overall end products then?
2x pyruvate, 2x NADH+H+, and 2 ATP.
What are the steps to glycolysis?
Basically, ATP adds a p-group to the 6-carbon molecule glucose on one end, and the other, (loss of 2 ATP), then the molecule gets unstable, and splits. One into G3P and the other has their p-group reversed and goes thru a series of chem. reactions to be G3P.
The G3P gets oxidized and loses 2 H and one e-, then it gets another p-group from an inorganic molecules, then thru substrate phosphorylation, the p-groups get added to 2 ADP and the G3P molecule gets turned into pyruvate. (same thing happens with other G3P).
