respiration - glycolysis

Question 1

what are the 4 stages of respiration

Answer 1

glycolysis
link reaction
Krebs cycle
oxidative phosphorylation

Question 2

define glycolysis

Answer 2

splitting glucose

Question 3

explain the process of glycolysis

Answer 3

• glucose (6C) is converted to phosphorylated glucose (6C) using 2 x ATP
• phosphorylated glucose (6C) is split into 2x triose phosphate (3C)
• triose phosphate (3C) is oxidised to pyruvate (3C) producing 2x NADH and 4 ATP
  (net production 2x NADH and 2 ATP and 2 pryuvate)

Question 4

where does glycolysis occcur

Answer 4

in the cytoplasm

Question 5

what is the net production of glycolysis

Answer 5

2x NADH and 2 ATP and 2 pryuvate
