Lecture 2 - Glycolysis Flashcards
1
Q
What is glycolysis?
A
First step where glucose is converted into pyruvate
Erythrocytes depend on this process the most for metabolism since they dont have mitochondria
2
Q
Products produced in glycolysis
A
2 pyruvate, 2 ATP, 2 NADH, 2H+, 2H2O
3
Q
ALL reactions for glycolysis takes place in the …
A
cytoplasm.
4
Q
Why is glycolysis referred to as the Pathway where energy is used to produce more energy?
A
Uses 2 ATPs to make 4 ATPs, NADH and pyruvate, which is then used to make even more ATP!
