Study Notes
Glycolysis Overview
- Glycolysis occurs in the cytosol, the liquid part of cells.
Key Products and Molecules
- The main product of glycolysis is pyruvate.
- High-energy molecules formed during glycolysis are ATP and NADH.
- Three molecules formed during glycolysis are pyruvate, ATP, and NADH.
Glycolysis Process
- Glycolysis involves a series of 10 reactions.
- The most common type of glycolysis is the Embden–Meyerhof–Parnas (EMP) pathway.
Historical Context
- The Embden–Meyerhof–Parnas (EMP) pathway was discovered by scientists Gustav Embden, Otto Meyerhof, and Jakub Karol Parnas.
Alternative Pathway
- The anaerobic pathway, also known as the Embden–Meyerhof–Parnas (EMP) pathway, can occur in the oxygen-free conditions of the Archean oceans.
Cellular Respiration
- Glycolysis is a metabolic pathway that converts glucose into pyruvate.
