Glycolysis is also known as what? It is the pathway for carbohydrate catabolism that begins with what substrate?
|
Embden-Meyerhof Pathway
substrate D-glucose |
|
|
Does glycolysis requires oxygen?
|
no
|
|
|
where in the cell does glycolysis occurs?
|
in the cytoplasm
|
|
|
what are the 3 major products of glycolysis?
|
chemical energy as ATP, NADH, and two 3-carbon pyruvate molecules
|
|
|
NAD stands for?
|
nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide
|
|
|
it is a coenzyme derived from the vitamin niacin
|
NAD+
|
|
|
chemical energy in the form of reduced NAD+?
|
NADH
|
|
|
at the end of glycolysis, the 6-carbon glucose is reduced into 2 of what?
|
3-carbon glucose
|
|
|
the fate of pyruvate depends on the presence or absence of what?
|
oxygen
|
|
|
if oxygen is present, pyruvate is used to produce?
|
acetyl coA
|
|
|
under anaerobic conditions, pyruvate is used as a what? in fermentation reactions
|
electron acceptor
|
|
|
if pyruvate where allowed to build up, it would cause glycolysis to?
|
stop --> stop ATP production
|
|
|
if all NAD+ is reduced, none will be available for this reaction, and glycolysis will?
|
stop --> stop ATP production
therefore, NADH must be reoxidized so that glycolysis can continue |
