Q

Glycolises

A

Process in which glucose is broken down into pyruvate:

  1. 2 Molecules if ATP are broken down into ADP to break glucose into two 3 carbon compounds (PGAL)
  2. Per PGAL 2 molecules of ATP and 1 molecule of NADH is produced by the rearrangement of PGAL into pyruvic acid

Q

Glycolises Formula

A

Glucose + 2NAD + 2ATP + 4ADP + 2P = 2 pyruvate + 2NADH + 2ADP + 4ATP

Net Gain: 2 ATP, 2NADH, 2 pyruvate

Q

Pyruvate Oxidation

A

Coenzyme A acts with Pyruvic acid to Yield acetyl coenzyme a (2 carbon compound) and NADH, 1st step in the Krebs cycle, when acetyl coenzyme A enters the Krebs cycle by bonding with oxsloacetate, coenzyme a regenerates
