BIOL 240 Lecture Notes - Lecture 9: Glycolysis, Anaerobic Respiration, Oxidative Phosphorylation
Document Summary
Glycolysis, citric acid cycle/krebs cycle, oxidative phosphorylation. C 6 h 12 o 6 + 6 o 2 6 co 2 + 6 h 2 o + energy (atp + heat) A small amount of atp is formed in glycolysis and the citric acid cycle by substrate-level phosphorylation. Substrate level phosphorylation - involves enzymes and substrates. The process that generates almost 90% of the atp is called oxidative phosphorylation because it is powered by redox reactions. Accumulation of protons on one side of a membrane. Glycolysis ( sugar splitting ) breaks down glucose into 2 molecules of pyruvate. Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm and has 2 major phases. Glycolysis occurs whether or not o2 is present. Glycolysis is found in nearly all living organisms.
