What are inputs of glycolysis?
- Glucose - Which is broken down into 2 Pyruvate -ADP+Pi and NADPH+
A pyruvate molecule is broken down into chemicals such as ethanol or lactate in a process called?
fermentation
What happens to pyruvate under anaerobic and aerobic conditions?
In humans, under ANAEROBIC conditions (no O2), pyruvate is 'converted' to lactate, though I wouldn't say it is "broken down".In humans, under AEROBIC conditions (O2 present), pyruvate is converted to Acetyl-CoA, via the pyruvate dehydrogenase reaction.In yeast, pyruvate is converted into ethanol (Party Fluid) via pyruvate decarboxylase and then alcohol dehydrogenase.
Where does glycol sis take place?
Glycolysis, which converts glucose into pyruvate, occurs in the cytoplasm. The cytoplasm is a thick liquid.
What happen before acetyl CoA can be formed during respiration?
Before acetyl CoA can be formed during respiration, glucose is broken down through glycolysis to produce pyruvate. Pyruvate is then converted to acetyl CoA in the mitochondrial matrix by the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. This process generates NADH and CO2 as byproducts.
Where in cell is pyruvate broken down?
cytoplasm
What occurs during glycosis?
Glucose is broken down into pyruvate.
What does the glucose change into?
Glucose is broken down to pyruvate during oxidative phosphorylation.
Where in the cell is pyruvate broken down?
Pyruvate is broken down in the mitochondria of the cell through a process called aerobic respiration. Pyruvate is converted into acetyl-CoA, which then enters the citric acid cycle to produce ATP, the cell's main energy source.
Cellular respiration often begins with glucose which is broken down during what?
Cellular respiration often begins with glycolysis, where glucose is broken down into pyruvate. This process occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell and generates a small amount of ATP.
Where the gloucse is broken down to produce pyrumate?
Glycolysis is the process in which glucose is broken down in the cytoplasm of cells to produce pyruvate. This series of reactions generates ATP, NADH, and pyruvate, which can then enter the citric acid cycle for further energy production.
What are inputs of glycolysis?
- Glucose - Which is broken down into 2 Pyruvate -ADP+Pi and NADPH+
In glycolysis many reactions occur what is the main outcome of these reactions?
Glucose is broken down into pyruvate.
What molecule enters glycolysis?
Glucose is the molecule that enters glycolysis to be broken down into pyruvate.
A pyruvate molecule is broken down into chemicals such as ethanol or lactate in a process called?
fermentation
How carbs proteins and fats can be converted to pyruvate glucose andor acetyl CoA and get used to make ATP or stored as fat?
Carbohydrates are broken down into glucose, which can be converted into pyruvate through glycolysis. Proteins are broken down into amino acids, some of which can enter the glycolytic pathway to generate pyruvate. Fats are broken down into fatty acids, which can be converted into acetyl CoA through beta-oxidation. Both pyruvate and acetyl CoA can enter the citric acid cycle to generate ATP. Excess glucose, pyruvate, and acetyl CoA can be converted into fat and stored for energy reserves.
Glycolysis is the first part of cellular respiration What occurs during this stage?
Glucose is broken down into pyruvate.
