Glycolysis - Respiration Flashcards
1
Q
1.
A
Glucose is phosphorylated (phospate groups added) to form Hexose Biphosphate. ATP is hydrolysed to ADP + Pi to provide energy and the phosphate groups needed.
2
Q
2.
A
Hexose Biphosphate is hydrolysed (water added) to form 2 x Triose Phosphate.
3
Q
3.
A
Triose Phosphate is oxidised (H removed) by dehydrogenases to form 2 x Pyruvate. NAD picks up H and is reduced. ATP is formed from ADP + Pi.
4
Q
4.
A
Reduced NAD provides electrons for ETC. Pyruvate is actuvely transported to mitochondria.
5
Q
Where does this occur?
A
Cytoplasm.
6
Q
Input
A
1 x Glucose, 2 x ATP, 4 x ADP, 2 x NAD.
7
Q
Output
A
2 x Pyruvate, 2 x ADP, 4 x ATP, 2 x reduced NAD. (net gain of 2 x ATP)
