10 Questions
Where does glycolysis occur in most organisms?
Cytosol
What high-energy molecules are formed as a result of glycolysis?
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH)
What is the most common type of glycolysis pathway?
Embden–Meyerhof–Parnas (EMP) pathway
What can occur in the absence of enzymes and catalyzed by metal ions, indicating a plausible prebiotic pathway for abiogenesis?
Pentose phosphate pathway
How many phases can the glycolysis pathway be separated into?
Two phases
What is the net charge on ADP3− in the cellular environment?
−3
In glycolysis, what is the net ATP yield from the metabolism of one molecule of glucose to two molecules of pyruvate?
Two molecules of ATP
How many additional molecules of ATP does eukaryotic aerobic respiration produce for each glucose molecule, approximately?
34
Under hypoxic conditions, what can result in greater flux through the anaerobic respiration pathway?
Lower-energy production compared to aerobic respiration
Who conducted non-cellular fermentation experiments that provided insight into the component steps of glycolysis?
Eduard Buchner
Test your knowledge of the series of interconnected biochemical reactions known as glycolysis, which converts glucose into pyruvate and generates ATP and NADH in the cytosol. This quiz covers the sequence of ten reactions catalyzed by enzymes in glycolysis and its wide occurrence in various species.
