Why does nad become nadh plus h instead of just nadh during glycolysis?

NAD (neutral compound) added to H(+), a positively changed proton, gives you NADH(+)

WHY is glucose converted to pyruvate?
glycolysis occur in the cytosol just outside of mitrocondria
How are glycolysis and cellular respiration the same?
Glycolysis, is the first stage of cellular respiration, so glycolysis is just a portion of cellular respiration.
Why do multicellular organisms need to use more energy?
A multicellular organism can not rely on glycolysis alone for energy because glycolysis is just one step in respiration. Glycolysis alone does not produce the amount of oxygen that a multicellular organism needs.
Where the energy of glucose ends up?
After glycolysis, there is no more glucose. The name glycolysis means "sugar splitting," and that's just what it does. It takes one glucose and splits it into two molecules of pyruvate, generating two ATPs as it goes. Following the short reaction when entering the mitochondria, the acetyl CoA (a form of the pyruvate) goes through the Krebs Cycle (or Citric Acid Cycle). Through a series of reactions, the energy is taken and incorporated into ADP to make ATP. Some of the energy will also go to NAD+ to form NADH (and some to FAD+ to form FADH2). These electron carriers then go to the Electron Transport Chain (ETC) to make the most ATPs in respiration through oxidative phosphorylation.
Why do glycolysis takes place in cell?
The cell's cytoplasm is a non-membraned bound organelle. It covers a large area and all the cell's membrane bound organelles are suspended in it. Glycolysis does not require oxygen or any membrane bound cellular organelle for it to run to completion. It requires enzymes and ATP; so where ever glucose is in the cytoplasm the process can begin.

Why is glycolysis not an efficient way to get energy?
Because, glycolysis just splits glucose up until it gradually gets smaller. It doesn't create energy it just starts the process.
Can you become a firefighter with your GED instead of a hischool diploma?
Yes, You can become a fire fighter with just a ged. 2k
Can you become an epic in spore without a mod?
No you can't just use mods instead.
What happens when you become tired?
What happens is your body will just need a rest. I tried to do sprints today and i just couldn't go as fast as I usually do
How did Indians become slaves during the antebellum period?
they just did
What is the net gain of ATP molecule through glycolysis?
Just two.Four are produced by substrate level phosphorylation but two ATP are needed in the energy investment phase of glycolysis.
Why do you have black blood instead of red during your period?
jK its normal... its just old blood coming out instead of new blood
What would happen if all the energy in glucose were released in just one step?
If all the energy in glucose were released in just one step instead of gradually as it is in cellular respiration the process beings with glycolysis releases only a small amount of energy. If oxygen is present, glycolysis leads to two other pathways that release a great deal of energy. If oxygen is not present, glycolysis goes in a different pathway.
Why has seal hunting become a difficult and sensitive issue?
Because it has become much more easy to just use the fat of fat people instead of babysealfat in the industries. Why would you waste such a cute little babyseal when you could just use fat people instead?
What are all the substrates of glycolysis?
Substrates are the products of enzyme activity when metabolism occurs. For example: with glycolysis hydrogen is a substrate that is carried to the electron transport chain by NAD and FAD which then become NADH and FADH with the added hydrogen. I am just a student though, i was looking for the same answer. Just know what is produced as a result of a particular reaction and you will have your substrates. Shane
