Glycolysis

Cards (5)

  • Respiration
    1. Glycolysis (aerobic and anaerobic)
    2. Link reaction (aerobic)
    3. Krebs cycle (aerobic)
    4. Electron transport chain (aerobic)
  • NAD= coenzymes
    Reduced to form NADH
  • Glycolysis
    • In cytoplasm
    • Doesn't require oxygen
  • Glycolysis
    1. Phosphorylation, 2 molecules of ATP release two phosphates which attach to glucose molecule forming hexose bisphosphate.
    2. Lysis, unstable to splits into two triose phosphate molecules.
    3. Phosphorylation, another phosphate group is added to each triose phosphate forming two triose bisphosphate molecules.
    4. The two triose bisphosphate molecules are oxidised by removing hydrogen atoms to form two pyruvate molecules. At the same time ATP molecules are produced removing phosphates from triose bisphosphate during substrate level phosphorylation
  • Net ATP yield
    • Used 2 molecules of ATP at the start
    • Produces 4 molecules at the end
    • So net yield is 2 molecules of ATP
