What are the two main functions of glycolysis?
The first phase of glycolysis requires energy, while the second phase completes the conversion to pyruvate and produces ATP and NADH for the cell to use for energy. Overall, the process of glycolysis produces a net gain of two pyruvate molecules, two ATP molecules, and two NADH molecules for the cell to use for energy.
What are the reactants of glycolysis?
Glucose is the reactant; while ATP and NADH are the products of the Glycolysis reaction. There are three stages in an aerobic glycolysis reaction: 1) decarboxylation of pyruvate 2) Citric Acid Cycle (also known as the Krebs Cycle) 3) Electron transport chain.
Where does the process of glycolysis occur?
Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm. Within the mitochondrion, the citric acid cycle occurs in the mitochondrial matrix, and oxidative metabolism occurs at the internal folded mitochondrial membranes (cristae).
