What is the organic molecule in glycolysis and how many carbon atoms does it contain?

The organic molecule that undergoes glycolysis is the sugar glucose which contains 6 atoms of carbon per molecule.


Is pyruvate a cell?

No, pyruvate is a molecule produced from the breakdown of glucose during glycolysis.


What type of organic molecule is easiest to breakdown?

Cellular respiration.


What two processes in glucose breakdown are anaerobic?

During glucose breakdown, glycolysis and fermentation occur anaerobically. Glycolysis breaks a glucose molecule into energy and pyruvate. Fermentation uses to the pyruvate to form either ethanol or lactate.


In glycolysis what is the number of NADH produced?

Glycolysis is the breakdown of glucose by enzymatic action. It yields 2 NADH molecules and 2 ATP molecules per glucose molecule.


Starting molecule for glycolysis?

Glycolysis starts with glucose. It cost 2 ATP to rearrange the glucose molecule at the start of glycolysis. There is 1 molecule at the beginning of glycolysis.


What is glycolysis about?

What do motichondria break down?

Pyruvate ( the result of glucose breakdown in glycolysis ), a three carbon molecule, enters the Citric acid cycle and through a series of oxidation and reduction events electrons are stripped for the electron transport chain while another organic molecule is reconstituted so the cycle can begin again. Then the mitochondria uses those electrons in the transport chain to synthesize ATP.
