Glycolysis
Brings about the splitting of one molecule of Glucose (6 Carbon) |
Into 2 X 3 Carbon molecules Pyruvate |
Takes place in the Cystol/Cytoplasm |
First stage dosen't need oxygen Anaerobic |
Two Stages of Glycolysis
Phosphorylation |
Oxidation |
Stage 1 Phosphorylation
Glucose is Phosphorlated |
(Add a phosphate to) |
Using Phosphate from ATP |
Glucose 6-Phosphate |
(Add another phosphate ) |
6 Carbon Biphosphate |
Splits into 2 X 3 Carbon Sugar Phosphates |
3 Carbon Sugar Phosphates= Triose Phosphate x 2 |
Stage 2 Oxidation
Triose Phosphate is Oxidised |
Loses Hydrogen |
Forms 2 X Pyruvate |
NAD Collects hydogen's forming NAD.2H |
|
|
Important
Glycolysis means Sugar Splitting |
Glycolysis Start/Finish
Start |
Finish |
1 X 6 Carbon (6C) Glucose |
2 X 3 Carbon (3C) Pyruvate |
Important Points to Remember
Energy stored in glucose goes into ATP and NAD.2H |
Most of the Energy is still stored in 2 X Pyruvate |
