What metabolic pathway has the most ATP?

The metabolic pathway that yields the greatest amount of ATP via cellular respiration is anaerobic glycolysis. Anaerobic glycolysis is the transformation of glucose to pyruvate when limited amounts of O2 are available.


Which step in glycolysis is the entry point for galactose?

Glycolysis is the break down of glucose in pyruate and release of energy here are the steps in which glycolysis occurGlucose ------> glucsose-6-phosphate -------> fructose-6-phosphate --------> fructose-1,6-bisphosphate --------> glyceraldhyde-3- phosphate and dihydroxyactone phosphate now dihydroxyacetone phosphate isomerize in glyceraldhyde-3- phosphate ----------- 2 glyceraldhyde -3- phosphate ------------> 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate ---------> 3-phosphoglycerate ----------> 2-phosphoglycerate -----------> phosphoenolpyruate ----------- pyruatein these reactions during reaction 1 and 3 ATP are changed into ADP and so these are called energy consuming reactions and in 7 and 10th step 2 ATP are released in both steps so forming 4 ATP and in end giving net gain of 2 ATP. So in glycolysis fructose is consumed after isomerisation and phosphorylating in 2nd step, Fructose also enter directly in glycolysis in some species which use fruit sugar fructose which first convert in Dfructose which is then phorphorylated in fructose-6-phosphate


Is ATP made up of ADP and a phosphate group?

Yes. ATP is formed when ADP joins with a phosphate through phosphorylation


What is the molecule that enters glycolysis?

short answer: Glycerol can enter the Glycolysis as DHAP. longer answer: The oxidation of triglicerides to fatty acids and glycerol occurs in the cytoplasm. After that, glycerol is phosphorylated and enters glycolysis, while fatty acids are oxidised elsewhere. The oxidation of fatty acids in its common form(beta-oxidation) occurs in mitochondria and in peroxisomes. Glycogen and fatty acids are stored locally. When needed, they are broken down, with the energy used by the cell or exported.


Name one reaction were ATP is required?

The first reaction of glycolysis, where glucose is phosphorylated (a phosphate group is added) to give glucose - 6 - phosphate requires ATP. This reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme hexokinase
