KA7- Cellular Respiration Flashcards
1
Q
Glycolysis
A
the breakdown of glucose to pyruvate in the cytoplasm
ATP is 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.
2
Q
ATP synthesis
A
electrons are passed along the electron transport chain releasing energy
3
Q
The role of ATP in the transfer of energy
A
ATP is used to transfer energy to cellular processes which require energy
