?
What is the first stage of glycolysis?
Glucose is phosphorylated
1 of 15
What is added to glucose in the first stage of glycolysis?
2 inorganic phosphates
2 of 15
How is an inorganic phosphate added to glucose?
2 molecules of ATP are split
3 of 15
How is ATP split in order to add an inorganic phosphate to glucose?
Hydrolysis
4 of 15
What happens to glucose when inorganic phosphates have been added?
It becomes more reactive and lowers its activation energy
5 of 15
What is the second stage of glycolysis?
