Cellular Respiration Part 1: Glycolysis

The video tutorial explains glycolysis, a key metabolic pathway in cellular respiration. It begins with an overview of energy sources, highlighting the sun's role in energy production and the process of photosynthesis. The tutorial then delves into aerobic respiration, detailing how glucose is metabolized in the presence of oxygen to produce energy, water, and carbon dioxide. Glycolysis, the first step in cellular respiration, is explained in detail, including its preparatory and payoff phases, the enzymes involved, and the net ATP yield. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of glycolysis as an ancient metabolic pathway that occurs in the cytoplasm of cells.

Identify the enzymes involved in the phosphorylation steps of glycolysis.

What is the net gain of ATP from one molecule of glucose during glycolysis?

What happens to pyruvate after glycolysis?
