Glycolysis, Cellular Respiration, Fermentation

Glycolysis

a series of reactions that extract energy from glucose by splitting it into pyruvates; leads to Respiration or Fermentation

Which possibility of glycolysis produces more energy

Respiration

homolactic fermentation

only produces lactic acid

heterolactic fermentation

produces a mixture of lactic acid, ethanol(yeast), and CO2

aerobic respiration

requires oxygen, produces highest ATP yield (36-38), produces water and co2

anaerobic respiration

slow, doesn’t require oxygen, produces low ATP yield (2-36), produces smelly gas

fermentation

doesn’t require oxygen, produces 2 ATP yield

protease

proteins to amino acids

lipase

fats to fatty acids or glycerol

carbohydrase

carbohydrates to glucose

catylase

hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen
