Definition: Glycolysis
The metabolic pathway where each glucose molecule is broken down to 2 pyruvate molecules.
1 of 13
Glucose (6C)
One ATP molecule is hydrolysed and the phosphate group released is attactched to the glucose molecule at carbon 6 to form glucose 6-phosphate
2 of 13
Glucose 6-Phosphate
Glucose 6-phosphaet is changed to fructose 6-phosphate
3 of 13
Fructose 6-Phosphate
Another ATP is hydrolysed and the phosphate group released is attatched to fructose 6-phosphate at carbon 1. This activates hexose sugar is now called fructose 1,6-bisphosphate
4 of 13
Hexose 1, 6-Bisphosphate
The energy from the hydrolysed ATP molecules ativates the hexose sugar and prevents it from being transported out of the cell.
5 of 13
How many ATP are used during Phosphorylation?
2 molecules of ATP for each glucose molecule
6 of 13
2 x Triose Phosphate (3C)
Each Molecule of hexose bisphosphate is split into 2 molecules of triose bisphosphate
7 of 13
(Oxidation of triose phosphate) (1)
2H are removed from each triose phosphaet molecule (using dehydrogenase enzymes)
8 of 13
(Oxidation of triose phosphate) (2)
This is aided by the coenzyme NAD, which is a hydrogen acceptor. NAD combines witht the hrdrogen atoms to become reduced NAD.
9 of 13
2 x Intermediate compound (3C)
2 molecules of NAD are reduced per molecule of glucose. 2 ATP molecules are formed - substrate-level phosphorylation.
10 of 13
2 x Pyruvate (3C)
4 enzyme-catalysed reactions convert each triose phosphate molecule to a molecule of pyruvate (3C).
11 of 13
(Conversion of triose phosphate to pyruvate)
2 molecules of ADP are phosphorylated (inorganic P group added) to 2 molecules of ATP (substrate-level phosphorylation)
12 of 13
Products of Glycolysis
2 ATP, 2 NADH and 2 Pyruvate
