Summary Introduction

To determine:

The end product of glycolysis and how the carbons of this molecule are used in stage I of cellular respiration. Also, determine the most frequent form of energy captured in Kreb’s cycle.

Introduction:

The breakdown of glucose is carried out in two major processes: glycolysis and cellular respiration. Glucose breakdown starts in the cytosol of the cell through glycolysis and further proceeds to the cellular respiration in the presence of oxygen. Glycolysis involves the breakdown of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate in the presence of oxygen or lactate in the absence of oxygen. Two ATP molecules are generated per glucose molecule during glycolysis.

Students have asked these similar questions
What is the direct mechanism of ATP synthesis during the electron transport phase of cellular respiration? (what is the potential energy source that drives ATP production?) b) Why is oxygen needed for this phase? c) What is the role of ATP synthase
What steps in glycolysis generate substrate-level phosphorylation, and how many ATP molecules are generated in this way in this pathway? How does the generation of ATP by substrate-level phosphorylation differ from ATP generation by oxidative phosphorylation?
How are aerobic respiration and fermentation different? What is the function of NAD+ and FADH in cellular respiration? What are the 3 main stages in aerobic cellular respiration? List four products of glycolysis. How is pyruvate modified before entering the citric acid cycle? Why is the citric acid cycle called a cycle? List four different products of citric acid cycle. Which of the three main stages of aerobic cellular respiration provides the biggest payoff of ATPs, and about how many ATPs from one glucose during this stage? In the absence of sugar, what else can cells use to produce ATP?
