Cellular Respiration
process that breaks down glucose to make ATP.
Glycolysis
first step of cellular respiration that breaks down glucose into pyruvate in the cytoplasm.
Where does glycolysis occur?
Cytoplasm
Anaerobic
does NOT require oxygen.
Is glycolysis aerobic or anaerobic?
Anaerobic
Pyruvate
the end product of glycolysis (2 molecules of pyruvate come from 1 glucose)
How many ATP are made from glycolysis net?
Net gain = 2 ATP.
NADH (produced in glycolysis)
electron carrier that carries high-energy electrons to the mitochondria later.
What is the purpose of glycolysis?
to break glucose into pyruvate and start capturing ATP + electrons.
