In glycolisis six-carbon sugar glucose are oxidized into two three-carbon compounds with the production of a small amount of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Glycolysis has two basic functions in the cell. First, it metabolizes simple six-carbon sugars to smaller three-carbon compounds that are then either fully metabolized by the mitochondria to produce carbon dioxide and a large amount of ATP or used for the synthesis of fat for storage. Second, glycolysis functions to producea small amount of ATP, which is essential for some cells solely dependent on that pathway for the generation of energy.

∙ 9y agoGlucose gets reduce in glycolysis and is broken down into pyruvate. This process releases ATP that the cell uses as energy.

What is the most reduced compound in glycolysis?
Glucose?
The energy carrier NAD is reduced to what substance?
NAD is an energy carrier which is involved in the process of glycolysis. It is reduced to NADH when a hydrogen atom is added.
Which is capable of being reduced during either glycolysis or the Krebs cycle?
NAD+ is capable of being reduced during both glycolysis and the Krebs cycle. It helps in passing energy from glucose to other pathways in the cell.
Why anareobic glycolysis is speedy than aerobic one?
Glycolysis itself anaerobic process and forms pyruvate. If there is oxygen present, pyruvate is reduced to acetyl-coenzyme A; if there is no oxygen present, pyruvate goes through fermentation, forming either lactic acid or ethanol.
What one of these stages occurs in the cytosol of the cell?
The process is Glycolysis!

NAD+ is capable of being reduced during both glycolysis and the Krebs cycle. It helps in passing energy from glucose to other pathways in the cell.
Is glycolysis is catabolism or anabolism?
Both, as glucose is being reduced and at least two ATP are being oxidized.

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.
what happens to a gas as pressure is reduced?
When the pressure of a gas is reduced it gets colder.
What one of these stages occurs in the cytosol of the cell?
The process is Glycolysis!
What the temperature gets when heat is removed?
Reduced
What do glycolysis and the electron transport chain have in common?
The reduced form of the energy carrying molecules like NADH,FADH2 released from glycolysis send to electron transport system where these energy molecules are further acted by dehydrogenase to remove electrons and ATP is generated.
What is the main purpose of reduction of pyruvate to lactate during fermentation?
The main purpose of pyruvate reduction to lactate during fermentation is to convert NADH to NAD plus. Early in the glycolysis process, you'll see that there's a step where NAD plus gets reduced to NADH, and then an ATP is produced.
What happens to a body at the morgue?
It gets reduced to ash.
