6. How many carbon atoms does a hexose sugar contain?
7. What increases the reactivity of the glucose?
- Substrate-level phosporylation
- Two phosphate added to the glucose from two ATP molecules
- Link reaction
8. Glucose is split into?
- two molecules of 3-carbon (3C) compounds.
- three molecules of 2-carbon (2C) compounds.
9. Fill in the blank: 'Each intermediate 3C sugar is.............producing a 3-carbon compound, pyruvate'?
- denatured
- oxidised
- hydrolised
- decarboxylated
- oxydenated
10. How many hydrogen atoms are removed are removed during the reaction?
11. These removed hydrogen atoms are taken up by the 'coenzyme NAD'.
12. What does NAD stand for?
- nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide
- nitro adenosine dioside
13. NAD is a non-protein organic molecule.
14. Is glucose at a higher or lower energy level than the pyruvate?
15. ....on conversion this mean that some energy becomes available for:
- the direct creation of ATP
- the direct creation of troponin
16. Phosphate from the intermediate compound is transferred to ADP; creating ATP. This is called substrate-level phosporylation?
17. How many ATP molecules are gained from glycolysis?
18. How many pairs of hydrogen atoms are gained in the reaction?
19. A net gain of two molecules of 3-carbon pyruvate is yeilded by glycolysis?
20. The glycolysis reaction takes place under which conditions?
