Study Notes
Glycolysis Overview
- The primary function of glycolysis is to convert glucose into pyruvate, generating energy for the cell.
Location of Glycolysis
- Glycolysis takes place in the cytosol of the cell.
Products of Glycolysis
- The products of glycolysis are pyruvate, ATP, and NADH.
Phosphorylation of Glucose
- Hexokinase is the enzyme responsible for phosphorylating glucose in glycolysis.
Regulation of Hexokinase
- Hexokinase is inhibited by glucose-6-phosphate.
