What molecule is needed to start glycolysis?
Glucose-->Pyruvate(2x)
How many pyruvate molecules are produced per glucose molecule during glycolysis?
Glucose contains six carbon atoms, whereas pyruvate only contains three, so it is possible to derive two pyruvate molecules (3+3 carbon atoms) from one glucose molecule (=6 carbon atoms). During the early stages of glycolysis, the glucose is converted into Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate. This molecule also has six carbon atoms, and is split by an enzyme called 'fructose biphosphate aldolase' into two separate molecules containing three carbon atoms: glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate. It is the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate that is later converted into pyruvate, accounting for the first pyruvate molecules from glucose. However, the other 3-carbon molecule, dihydroxyacetone phosphate, is kept in equilibium with glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate by an enzyme known as 'triose phosphate isomerase', so that this is eventually converted into pyruvate as well. The result being two pyruvate molecules per glucose molecule.
What is the molecule needed to start glycolysis?
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) goes into the glycolysis to yield fructose diphosphate. In turn this results in 4 ATP molecules and pyruvic acid.
How many monosaccharide are needed to form one maltose molecule?
How many monosaccharides are made up to make glucose molecule
How many FAD and NAD plus molecules are needed for the breakdown of each glucose molecule?
There are 2 FAD and NAD and molecules. This is to breakdown each glucose molecule.
How many molecules of glucose are needed to make 300 molecules of ATP in aerobic respiration?
One molecule of glucose will produce 38 molecules of ATP. This means that 300/38 molecules of glucose are needed, or 8, which will make 304 ATP molecules.
How many monosaccharide molecules are needed to form a maltose molecule?
It takes 2 monosaccharide molecules to form a maltose molecule. Those are 2 glucose molecules. So 2 glucose molecules join together to make 1 maltose molecule.
How many NAD molecules are needed for the breakdown of each glucose molecule?
3
One molecule of glucose makes 30 molecules of ATP. how many molecules of glucose are needed to make 6000 molecules of ATP in aerobic respiration?
200
It takes 1 molecule of glucose to make 30 molecules of ATP. How many molecules of glucose are needed to make 300 molecules of ATP in aerobic respiration?
10
How many molecules of CO2 are needed to produce 1 molecule of glucose (C6H12O6)?
3.
How many carbon dioxide molecules are needed to produce 3 molecules of glucose?
Each glucose molecule contains 6 carbon atoms. Thus we need 18 molecules of CO2 to make 3 molecules of glucose.
