Glycolysis Review

Front

What is glycolysis?

Back

Glycolysis is a metabolic pathway that converts glucose into pyruvate, producing energy in the form of ATP.

Front

What is the starting material for glycolysis?

Back

Glucose.

Front

What is the main function of glycolysis?

Back

To split the glucose molecule to release energy.

Front

What is produced at the end of glycolysis?

Back

Pyruvic acid (pyruvate) and a net gain of 2 ATP molecules.

Front

How do humans obtain glucose?

Back

By eating.

Front

What does ATP stand for?

Back

Adenosine Triphosphate.

Front

What happens to ATP after it donates a phosphate group in glycolysis?

Back

It becomes ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate).

Front

What is the role of NAD+ in glycolysis?

Back

NAD+ acts as an electron carrier, being reduced to NADH during glycolysis.

Front

What is the end product of glycolysis?

Back

Pyruvate.

Front

How many ATP molecules are produced in glycolysis?

Back

A net gain of 2 ATP molecules.
