Glycolysis Flashcards
what is glycolysis?
- catabolic pathway that saves potential energy from glucose by forming ATP
- only source of energy with out oxygen
where does glycolysis occur?
Cytoplasm
how many phases are there in glycolysis?
2 phases
the first stage uses how many ATP?
2 ATP are used in the first stage
Glucose is split into what 2 molecules?
G-3-P and DHAP (which are readily interconverted)
The phosphorylation of glucose uses what enzymes?
Glucokinase or hexokinase
In the 2nd step of glycolysis what is G-6-P converted to?
F-6-P
The first committed step of glycolysis is what?
F-6-P to F-1,6-bisP as this molecule is only used for glycolysis
what of the 2 triode sugars can be used in glycolysis stage 2?
G-3-P
what type of molecule is produced when G-3-P goes to 1,3-bisPG?
NADH
what 2 stages of glycolysis are energy coupled?
6 and 7
what is 3-PG converted to?
2-PG
how many ATP molecules are produced when P is transferred from PEP to ADP?
2
What is the final product of glycolysis?
Pyruvate
What is vital for glycolysis?
NAD+
