In glycolysis what is converted to two pyruvates?

One glucose molecule is converted to two pyruvate molecules during glycolysis.


Process by which glucose is converted to pyruvic acid?

Glucose is first converted to pyruvic acid in a process called glycolysis. During glycolysis, glucose molecules are broken down into two molecules of pyruvic acid, producing a small amount of ATP and NADH as energy intermediates. This process occurs in the cytoplasm of cells and is the first step in both aerobic and anaerobic respiration.


What is used up during the first step of glycolysis?

Two molecules of ATP are consumed during the first step of glycolysis, where glucose is converted to glucose-6-phosphate by the enzyme hexokinase.


What happens to a glucose molecule when glycolysis occurs?

During Glycolysis, Glucosemolecules are split into two pyruvates during a sequence of enzyme-controlled reactions. This occurs in both aerobic and anaerobic respiration.

Where is glucose converted into pyruvate in the cell?

The cytoplasm


What two processes in glucose breakdown are anaerobic?

During glucose breakdown, glycolysis and fermentation occur anaerobically. Glycolysis breaks a glucose molecule into energy and pyruvate. Fermentation uses to the pyruvate to form either ethanol or lactate.


Where does the synthesis of pyruvate occur during glycolysis?

The synthesis of pyruvate occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell during glycolysis. It is the final step in the glycolytic pathway, where glucose is converted to two molecules of pyruvate.


What sequence best summarizes lactic acid fermentation?

Glucose is broken down into pyruvate during glycolysis. Pyruvate is then converted to lactic acid in the absence of oxygen, regenerating NAD+ for glycolysis to continue.


Is glycolysis an enzyme?

No, glycolysis is a process where the glucose is converted to pyruvic acid, releasing 2 net ATP molecules.
