10 Questions
During glycolysis, how many ATP molecules are produced from the breakdown of one molecule of glucose?
2 ATP
Which molecule serves as an immediate source of energy when hydrolyzed to form ADP?
ATP
In anaerobic respiration, where does glycolysis occur?
Cytosol
What molecule is formed from the breakdown of glucose during glycolysis?
Pyruvate
What is the main organic compound used in cell respiration to produce ATP?
Carbohydrates (e.g., glucose)
What is the net gain of ATP when one molecule of glucose completes glycolysis?
2 ATP
What is the role of NAD+ in glycolysis?
It is reduced to form NADH, which carries electrons to the electron transport chain.
What is the immediate fate of the pyruvate molecules produced in glycolysis under anaerobic conditions?
They are converted into lactate or ethanol.
Which of the following compounds can also be used in cell respiration to produce ATP, apart from carbohydrates?
Lipids
What is the significance of the high-energy bond in ATP?
It represents the storage location for the energy used in cellular processes.
