Glycolysis is the conversion of glucose into ATP (Adenosine Triphospate) molecules in short. In any case, energy is released.

Which is the committed step of glycolysis?

The committed step of glycolysis is the reaction catalyzed by phophofructokine (PFK) converting fructose-6-phosphate into fructose-1,6- bisphosphate. The reaction is irreversible and secondly, it's the only reaction peculiar to the glycolysis.

Hexokinase


Which of the following is correct regarding glycolysis?

The "committed" reaction is also the rate-limiting reaction


The enzyme enolase catalyzes the ninth reaction of glycolysis. What is the product of this reaction?

What is the first reaction to occur during glycolysis?

The first reaction in glycolysis is the phosphorylation of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate by the enzyme hexokinase. This step consumes one molecule of ATP to phosphorylate glucose, making it more reactive for subsequent steps in glycolysis.


What type of reaction by which proteins and carbohydrates are broken down?

Glycolysis.


Is glycolysis a anabolic or catabolic reaction?

hey glycolysis is both an anabolic and a catabolic reaction, because at first, your are investing energy which is ATP, then you later harvest ATP with pyruvate (3C compound), and NADH. So it is both processes


Does an anabolic reaction break down glucose?

Yes during glycolysis


Does glycolysis occur before the preparatory reaction and the citric acid cycle?

Yes, glycolysis occurs before the preparatory reaction (pyruvate oxidation) and the citric acid cycle in the process of cellular respiration. Glycolysis breaks down glucose into pyruvate, which then enters the preparatory reaction to be converted into acetyl CoA and then further metabolized in the citric acid cycle.
