during the process of glycolysis what is glucose transformed to?
During the process of glycolysis, glucose is transformed into pyruvic acid.
2 of 11
how many ATP molecules are used to get glycolysis started?
2 ATP molecules are used to get glycolysis started.
3 of 11
how many ATP molecules does glycolysis produce and what is the net gain?
Glycolysis produces 4 ATP molecules and it uses 2 ATP molecules to get started, so the net gain is 2 ATP molecules.
4 of 11
how fast is the occurring of glycolysis?
Glycolysis is so fast that thousands of ATP molecules are produced in a few milliseconds.
5 of 11
what else is produced with ATP in glycolysis?
2 NADH molecules
6 of 11
what is NAD+?
NAD+ is an electron carrier molecule that helps pass energy from glucose to other pathways in a cell by taking high-energy electrons and holding on to them until they can be transferred to other molecules.
7 of 11
how are NAD+ and NADP+ similar?
both molecules accept pairs of high-energy electrons.
8 of 11
where does the NADH produced goes?
the NADH molecules produced goes to the electron transportation chains.
9 of 11
what happens to the pyruvic acid produced?
it goes to the Krebs cycle where it can be used to make more ATP molecules.
10 of 11
how much of the glucose's energy is left?
10% of the energy is produced and 90% of it left in the pyruvic molecules
