BASICS of Glycolysis and the Krebs Cycle - Production of ATP, NADH, & FADH2

The video provides an overview of glycolysis and the Krebs cycle, focusing on glycolysis. It explains glycolysis as a 10-enzyme pathway that splits glucose into two pyruvate molecules, detailing the energy investment and payoff phases. The regulation of glycolysis through allosteric enzymes, particularly phosphofructokinase, is discussed. The fate of pyruvate, including its conversion to acetyl CoA in the mitochondria, is also covered.

How does the structure of glucose relate to its breakdown in glycolysis?

What is the net yield of ATP and NADH from glycolysis?

What is the relationship between glycolysis and the Krebs cycle?

Explain the term 'allosteric regulation' in the context of glycolysis.
