eccentric The body partially breaks down glucose to produce energy (ATP) and the by-product lactic acid

∙ 8y agoThe anaerobic process where glucose is converted to pyruvic acid while two ATP molecules are released. This occurs in the cytoplasm. The resulting pyruvic acid will go into the mitochondria for the rest of cellular respiration.
Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that converts glucose, C6H12O6, into pyruvate, C3H6O3-. The free energy released in this process is used to form the high energy compounds, ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and NADH (reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide)

∙ 6y agoWe can consider two concepts of Glycolysis:
- The anaerobic degradation of carbohydrates (sugars) whereby a molecule of glucose is converted by a series of steps to two molecules of lactic acid.
- The sequence of biochemical reactions from glucose to pyruvate (or pyruvic acid) that is common to carbohydrate catabolism under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions.

The process of breaking down glucose into pyruvate?
glycolosis
Glycolosis takes place in what?
In the cytoplasm. Outside of the mitochondria.
What process uses oxygen to break down glucose?
Cellular respiration!
What two mechanisms are used to generate ATP from glucose to muscle cells?
Glycolosis (in the cytoplasm) and aerobic metabolism (in the mitochondria) are used to generate ATP from glucose in muscle cells.
During glycolosis when glucose is catabolized to pyruvate most of the energy of glucose is?
Retained in the two pyruvates produced by glycolysis.
What metabolic processes might have evolved first a. Aerobic respiration b.oxygenic photosynthesis c. glycolosis?
glycolosis
What macromocule is involved in glycolosis?
ATP
Is pyruvate productof glycolosis?
yes
What do non green plants feed on?
Its something to do with glycolosis.
The process of breaking down glucose into pyruvate?
glycolosis
What is the cyclic pathway that produces three carbon molecules called?
Glycolosis
Glycolosis takes place in what?
In the cytoplasm. Outside of the mitochondria.
What does the first process of glycolosis produce?
Glycolosis is a metabolic reaction which converts glucose into pyruvate. The first step involves the phopsphate transfer from ATP group to glucose, thus formin glucose 6 phosphate.
What process uses oxygen to break down glucose?
Cellular respiration!
Why are three molecules of carbon dioxide produced in Glycolosis?
CO2 is not produced in Glycolisis.
What organelle does glycolosis take place?
Glycolysis takes place in the cell cytoplasm
If a cell lacks ATP which process will cease to operate?
Active transport
