Document Summary

Glycolysis is actually a series of ten chemical reactions. Glucose: a six-carbon sugar, the most common fuel molecule in animals, plants, microbes. Glucose is now too big to leave the cell. Because two atp molecules are used up in the first stage, the net gain out of this reaction is three carbon molecules. Although glycolysis occurs in all living organisms, it does not produce a lot of energy different way. In bacteria, this process occurs in the cytoplasm. In eukaryotes, this process occurs in the mitochondria. Week 12, readings 3-5 (unit 3: the part of the pyruvate that was not oxidized is an acetyl group (coch3), which still contains a fair amount of energy. It is then connected to coenzyme a to form acetyl-coa (substrate of the first step of the next phase) Overall, one pyruvate yields: 1 molecule of co2, 1 molecule of nadh, 1 molecule acetyl-coa.
