10 Questions
Explain the role of NAD+ in glycolysis.
NAD+ accepts a pair of high-energy electrons and a hydrogen ion, forming NADH, which holds the electrons until they can be transferred to other molecules.
How many ATP molecules are synthesized from 4 ADP molecules in glycolysis?
4 ATP molecules
What is the net gain of ATP molecules in glycolysis, considering the ATP molecules used to start the process?
2 ATP molecules
What is an advantage of glycolysis in terms of oxygen requirement?
Glycolysis does not require oxygen.
What are the outputs of glycolysis that become the inputs for other processes of cellular respiration when oxygen is available?
Pyruvic acid and NADH
What is the role of NAD+ in glycolysis?
NAD+ accepts a pair of high-energy electrons and a hydrogen ion, forming NADH, which holds the electrons until they can be transferred to other molecules.
How many ATP molecules are synthesized from 4 ADP molecules in glycolysis?
4 ATP molecules are synthesized from 4 ADP molecules in glycolysis.
What is the net gain of ATP molecules in glycolysis, considering the ATP molecules used to start the process?
There is a net gain of just 2 ATP molecules in glycolysis, as 2 ATP molecules are used to start the process.
What is the advantage of glycolysis in terms of oxygen requirement?
Glycolysis does not require oxygen.
How fast can cells produce ATP molecules through glycolysis?
Cells can produce thousands of ATP molecules in just a few milliseconds through glycolysis.
