How did the glucose molecule get broken down and transported to a cell?
2 ATP molecules are used to break the glucose molecule into two pyruvate molecules in the cytoplasm. Then the pyruvate travels to the mitochondria, where it is broken down further and produces 34 ATP molecules, which are used to power a cell.
What is the end result of glycolysis that eventually feeds into the Krebs cycle?
A. Glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate Glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate.
Cellular respiration often begins with glucose which is broken down during what?
In the mitochondria
How is glucose broken down in the mitochondria?
Glucose enters the cell by the glucose transporters. It is then broken down to make ATP in two pathways. Anaerobic metabolism is when oxygen is not required. This is also known as glycolysis which takes place in the cytoplasm.
Which part of cellualar respiration breaks down glucose into pyruvate?
The process of breaking down starch to pyruvate is glycolysis. This reaction takes place in one of the cell organelles - mitochondria.
Where in cell is pyruvate broken down?
cytoplasm

What occurs during glycosis?
Glucose is broken down into pyruvate.
How do glycolysis pyruvate processing. the Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain work together to provide energy for the cell?
When the cell gains gluclose, the process of glycolysis occurs and the gluclose is broken down down into pyruvate. In pyruvate processing, Acetyl CoA is produced nad then used in the Krebs Cycle. There, NADH and FADH2 are made and go to the electron transport chain, where water and ATP are made. *
What is released when pyruvate is broken down?
Pyruvate, when channeled into the Kreb's cycle ultimately releases energy in the form of ATP and carbon dioxide.
What does the glucose change into?
Glucose is broken down to pyruvate during oxidative phosphorylation.
A pyruvate molecule is broken down into chemicals such as ethanol or lactate in a process called?
fermentation
Cellular respiration often begins with glucose which is broken down during what?
In the mitochondria
What are inputs of glycolysis?
- Glucose - Which is broken down into 2 Pyruvate -ADP+Pi and NADPH+

Which organelle of a cell is where sugars are broken down?
mitochondrionSugars are basically broken down in the cytoplasm of the cell
