What is the starting material of glycolysis?
in glycolysis beginning material is 1 mol. of glucose and ending material is 2mol. pyruvate.
What does glycolysis break down?
Metabolic pathway that converts glucose into pyruvate and a small amount of ATP anaerobicly
During glycolysis glucose is oxidized into?
In cellular respiration, glucose is oxidized into pyruvate.
During glycolosys glucose molecules is broken into?
In glycolysis, one 6-carbon glucose molecule is converted into two 3-carbon pyruvate molecules. If no oxygen is present then each of those two pyruvate molecules will be converted into 3-carbon lactate (lactic acid).
In cellular respiration what does glucose turn into?
Water and carbon dioxide, ATP is produced as well
What is the starting material of glycolysis?
in glycolysis beginning material is 1 mol. of glucose and ending material is 2mol. pyruvate.
What do Calvin cycles do?
Converts carbon dioxide to glucose
Where does glycol's take place?
Glycolysis, which converts glucose into pyruvate, occurs in the cytoplasm. The cytoplasm is a thick liquid.

Where does glycol sis take place?
Glycolysis, which converts glucose into pyruvate, occurs in the cytoplasm. The cytoplasm is a thick liquid.
Glycolysis is the breakdown of what organic molecule?
....conversion of glucose to pyruvate.
What does the first process of glycolosis produce?
Glycolosis is a metabolic reaction which converts glucose into pyruvate. The first step involves the phopsphate transfer from ATP group to glucose, thus formin glucose 6 phosphate.
The breakdown of pyruvate in the Krebs cycle result in the release of?
NO. You release 2 CO2 from each turn on the kreb cycle. You have to go around the cycle twice in order to decarboxylate 1 glucose molecule (you go around twice because you have 2 pyruvate molecules in one glucose, meaning one full turn of the kreb cycle per pyruvate molecule)
What is pyruvate converted to in the mitochondria of a cell?
pyruvate is con verted into ethanol and carbon dioxide
The Calvin cycle converts carbon dioxide to what?
G3P molecules which combine to form glucose
What contains more energy glucose or pyruvate?
glucose
