2 phases of glycolisis

- Energy investment phase - Energy payoff phase

Glycolysis characteristics

- First stage of aerobic and anaerobic respiration - Takes place in the cytoplasm - In glycolysis ATP is used to split glucose molecules into 2 three-carbon compounds called pyruvate - This splitting produces energy that is stored in ATP and a molecule called NADH - Unlike the rest of aerobic respiration, glycolysis does not require oxygen CAPON: Cytoplasm, Aerobic and anaerobic respiration, 2 Pyruvate molecules, no Oxygen required, 2NADH

What is ATP?

ATP stands for adenosine triphosphate It is the primary source of energy in cells

Glycolysis definition

Glycolysis breaks down glucose into two molecules of pyruvate that occurs in the cytoplasm

3 stages of cellular respiration

Glycolysis: Breaks down glucose into two molecules of pyruvate The citric acid cycle: Completes the breakdown of glucose Oxidative phosphorylation:Accounts for most of the ATP synthesis

Chemical formula for glycolysis

Glucose + 2ATP -----> 2Pyruvate + 4ATP + 2NADH

Process that generates ATP

The process that generates most of the ATP is called oxidative phosphorylation because it is powered by redox reactions

Redox reaction

This is the reduction of oxidation
