Study Notes
Glycolysis Overview
- Glycolysis is the breakdown of a glucose molecule into two pyruvate molecules.
- This process releases energy, stored as ATP and NADH.
- Most organisms that break down glucose use glycolysis.
- Glucose regulation and product use cause the pathways to differ among organisms.
- Glycolysis serves as the only method of energy production in some tissues and organisms.
- The glycolytic pathway is common in both anaerobic and aerobic respiration.
- Glycolysis consists of ten steps divided into two phases.
- The first phase requires the breakdown of two ATP molecules.
- The second phase involves transferring chemical energy from intermediates into ATP and NADH.
- Breaking down one glucose molecule yields two pyruvate molecules.
- Pyruvate can be further oxidized for more energy in later processes.
- Complete glucose breakdown by aerobic respiration, which includes glycolysis, the citric-acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation, produces about 30-32 ATP molecules.
