Glycolysis Study Review with Complete Solutions
Glucose - -A 6 carbon sugar that is used in ATP Synthase - -Enzyme that acts as a H+
Cellular Respiration to make ATP. pump, driving the production of ATP from ADP.
Pyruvate - -1/2 of a glucose molecule. Has 3 Mitochondria - -The powerhouse of the cell.
carbons. Functions to generate ATP for cellular energy
Acetyl CoA - -A molecule created when a
carbon is moved from pyruvate. That removed
carbon is released as CO2. This is the molecule that
enters the Krebs cycle.
ATP - -Adenosine Triphosphate. Our energy
"coin" that is required to run all of our cellular
machinery
Cellular Respiration - -Process that breaks
down glucose into CO2, H2O, and makes energy in
the form of ATP.
Glycolysis - -The 1st step of Cellular
Respiration. Breaks glucose into 2 pyruvates,
creating 4 ATP, 2 NADH. 2 ATP are required to start
the process. Occurs in the cytoplasm
Krebs Cycle - -Occurs in mitochondrial matrix.
Completes the final breakdown of glucose. ATP,
NADH, FADH2 are made. CO2 is released.
Electron Transport Chain - -Occurs in inner
mitochondrial membrane. Coverts NADH and FADH2
into ATP through a series of electron transport
proteins located in the membrane.
Oxidation - -The removal of electrons from a
molecule.
Reduction - -The addition of electrons to a
molecule.
