  • What method is used to generate ATP in glycolysis?
    ATP in glycolysis is generated through substrate-level phosphorylation.
  • What are the reactants and products of glycolysis?
    The reactant of glycolysis is glucose, and the products are 2 pyruvate molecules, 2 NADH, and a net gain of 2 ATP.
  • Which metabolic pathway converts glucose into pyruvate?
    Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that converts glucose into pyruvate.
  • What is a valuable feature of glycolysis to the cell?
    It produces ATP without oxygen
  • How many net ATP and NADH molecules are produced from one molecule of glucose during glycolysis?
    Glycolysis produces a net of 2 ATP and 2 NADH molecules from one molecule of glucose.
  • Which process in the aerobic metabolism of glucose takes place in the cytosol?
    Glycolysis is the process in the aerobic metabolism of glucose that takes place in the cytosol.
  • What is the key feature of glycolysis?
    It breaks down glucose into pyruvate
  • Which output of glycolysis will enter the next step of acetyl CoA formation?
    The pyruvate produced in glycolysis will enter the next step of acetyl CoA formation.
  • What is the mnemonic to remember the phases of glycolysis?
    The mnemonic is 'Gary invests to harvest his profits and travel to Mexico.'
