What does glycolysis produces?

Glycolysis (glycos, sugar + lysis, splitting) A glucose molecule is broken down into two molecules of pyruvic acid. The pyruvic acid molecules are then absorbed by the mitochondria. In the mitochondrial matrix, a CO2 molecule is removed from each of the acid molecules. What is left of the pyruvic acid then enters the Krebs cycle.


Is this true or false The pyruvic acid produced in electrolysis enters the chloroplasts if the oxygen is present in a cell?

It is false that if oxygen is present in a cell, pyruvic acid in glycolysis enters the chloroplasts. The pyruvic acid enters the mitochondria if oxygen is present in a cell.


How many ATP molecules are produced by oxidative phosphorylation for each glucose that enters glycolysis?

Approximately 30-32 molecules of ATP are produced by oxidative phosphorylation for each glucose molecule that enters glycolysis.


Can pyruvic acid use in the Krebs cycle?

The pyruvic acid that is produced by glycolysis is used as the initial input for the Krebs Cycle (also called citric acid cycle). In the initial step of the Krebs Cycle, the pyruvic acid is converted to acetyl-CoA via pyruvate decarboxylation. This continues a series of chemical reactions leading to the production of 2 ATP molecules.


What is the starting molecule for the Krebs cycle?

The starting molecule for the Krebs cycle is acetyl-CoA, which enters the cycle by combining with oxaloacetate to form citrate.


What chemical enters the mitochondria to continue respiration?

The main chemical that enters the mitochondria to continue respiration is pyruvate, which is produced during glycolysis in the cytoplasm. Pyruvate is then converted into acetyl-CoA before entering the citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle) in the mitochondria to produce energy in the form of ATP through oxidative phosphorylation.


Pyruvic acid loses a molecule of BLANK to produce acetic acid which then enters the citric acid cycle?

Carbon dioxide. Pyruvic acid undergoes decarboxylation to lose a carbon dioxide molecule and form acetic acid. This acetic acid then combines with Coenzyme A to form acetyl-CoA, which enters the citric acid cycle.


When does Calvin cycle begin?

When acetyl CoA and oxaloacetate is present.


How many turns can a single glucose molecule drive the Krebs cycle?

A single glucose molecule is able to drive the Krebs cycle 2 times. The Krebs Cycle is the series of chemical reactions that take place to provide all aerobic organisms with the ability to make energy.


What molecules both enters AND exits the Kreb's cycle?

Pyruvic acid enters and carbon dioxide exits.


What molecule produced during the breakdown of glucose enters the Krebs cycle?

acetyl CoA


Does pyruvic acid enters the krebs cycle?

Pyruvic acid cycle does enter the Krebs cycle and is turned into acetyl coenzyme A.
