Lesson 6: Cellular Respiration - Glycolysis

C6H12O6+602=6CO2+6H2O+36ATP

Cellular Respiration Formula

Glycolysis

is the first step in cellular respiration that leads to the breakdown of glucose to extract energy for cellular metabolism

anaerobic

Glycolysis is what type of respiration?

secondary active transport

first way glucose enter cells

glucose transporter proteins

second way glucose enter cells

first phase glycolysis

glycolysis pathway traps the glucose molecule in the cell and uses energy to modify it so that the six-carbon sugar molecule can be split evenly into the two three-carbon molecules

second phase glycolysis

extracts energy from the molecules and stores it in the form of ATP and NADH, the reduced form of NAD+.

pyruvate kinase

the enzyme that catalyzes the formation of pyruvate

pyruvate kinase

a rate-limiting enzyme for glycolysis.

It is the breaking down of glucose molecules into pyruvate molecules.

explain glycolysis

cytoplasm

where does glycolysis occur?

the splitting of six-carbon group into three-carbon pyruvate

where was the two ATP used up?
