Glycolysis depends on a continuous supply of what?

glucose and NAD+


Krebs cycle is carried out during?

Glycolysis refers to the process of breaking down glucose through enzymatic actions. It is carried out during aerobic respiration and fermentation.


What is the process that is carried out in plants in which glucose is being produced?

Photosynthesis is the process. Plants use carbon dioxide in the air, as well as water and sunlight to make glucose and oxygen. The equation is Carbon Dioxide + Water => Glucose + Oxygen

What are the 3 steps of aerobic cellular respiration?

Aerobic respiration is the discharge of energy from glucose or another organic substrate in the presence of OxygenThe three stages of aerobic respiration are glycolysis, citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.Glycolysis takes place inside the cytoplasm; the citric acid cycle takes place inside the mitochondria, and the oxidative phosphorylation takes places in the mitochondria.Cellular respiration is in three stages as follows:GLYCOLYSISTakes place in the cytoplasm of the cell and is common to both aerobic and anaerobic respiration.glycolysis means literally that glucose is split and the 6 carbon glucose molecule is broken down to 2 X 3carbon molecules of Pyruvic acid. This produces a net gain of 2 ATP molecules.If oxygen is absent (anaerobic) in animal cells, such as muscle, 3C Pyruvic acid is converted to lactic acid.In plant cells, such as yeast, pyruvic acid is converted to 2C Ethanol + CO2 (fermentation)In both of the above only 2 ATP molecules are produced per glucose molecule respired.If oxygen is present (aerobic), pyruvic acid enters the mitochondrion to the fluid matrix where Kreb's cycle stages occur.During Kreb's cycle Citric acid is initially formed and is then broken down in a series of enzyme controlled rections releasing CO2 (waste product) and hydrogen.Hydrogen is picked up by a hydrogen carrier molecule called NAD and transported to the hydrogen carrier sytem (Cytochrome sytem) on the cristae of the mitochondrion for the final stage of respiration.Cytochrome system- electron transport system:Hydrogen is passed along a chain of hydrogen carrier molecules by a series of oxidation and reduction reactions.each time a hydrogen molecule is passed along, a molecule of ATP is produced from ADP and phosphate.The final Hydrogen acceptor is oxygen and produces a molecule of water (the other waste product).In all, 36 ATP molecules are generated during the Cytochrome system, making a total of 38 ATP (36 from cytochrome system + 2 ATP from glycolysis) produced when Glucose is respired aerobically.This makes aerobic respiration 19X more efficient at producing ATP than anaerobic respiration.Hope this helps!

What acid is produced in glycoolysis when glucose is spilt?

Pyruvic acid, also called pyruvate, is produced during glycolysis when the glucose molecule is split.


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.


Is pyruvate a cell?

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


How many ATP molecule produced in Glycolysis?

There are two net molecules of ATP produced by substrate-level phosphorylation during glycolysis. (when one molecule of glucose is respired). Two are used to convert the glucose molecule to fructose, but four are released when pyruvate is made. However, the other products of glycolysis enable the Link Reaction, Krebs cycle and Oxidation Phosphorylation to happen, and these release a lot of ATP.
