KA7- Cellular Respiration Flashcards
Glycolysis
the breakdown of glucose to pyruvate in the cytoplasm
No oxygen required
2 stages
ATP synthesis
electrons are passed along the electron transport chain releasing energy
ATP
used to transfer energy to cellular processes which require energy
ATP—>ADP+Pi releases energy
ATP in glycolysis
required for the phosphorylation of glucose and intermediates during the energy investment phase of glycolysis
This leads to the generation of more ATP during the energy pay-off stage and results in a net gain of ATP
Stage 1 glycolysis
Energy investment phase
2 ATP phosphorylate glucose and intermediates
Stage 2 glycolysis
Energy pay off stage
4 ATP produced causing net gain of 2 ATP per glucose molecule
Hydrogen ions and electrons released from intermediates
Passed onto the coenzyme NAD to form NADH
Regeneration of ATP from ADP
Uses the energy released from cellular respiration
