Solution Summary

This solution answers several questions about the glycolysis pathway.

Solution Preview

1) If the cell is operating under aerobic conditions (presence of oxygen), then NADH must be reoxidized to NAD+ by the electron transport chain. This presents a problem since glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm while the respiratory chain is in the mitochondria which has membrane that is not permeable to NADH. This problem is solved by using glycerol phosphate as a "shuttle." The hydrogens and electrons are transferred from NADH to glycerol phosphate which can diffuse through the ...

  • Comparing Rates of CO2 Generation

    Therefore, if glucose is oxidized through the pentose phosphate pathway and gluconeogenesis, ALL of the released CO2 comes from C1. NONE of it comes from C6. Now, let's look at glycolysis and Krebs cycle.

  • Comparing Efficiency of Glucose Oxidation

    oxidation via the pentose phosphate pathway + gluconeogenesis.

  • Anaerobic and aerobic respiration

    The amount of energy released for the ATP-CP pathway only last for about 10 seconds; so it only used for short burst exercises. (1, 2) The second pathway is the anaerobic pathway called the glycolysis pathway that produce ATP only from carbohydrates

  • anaerobic respiration in yeast

    NAD+ is important because it is used in glycolysis (reaction 6 of glycolysis as catalyzed by glyceraldehydes-3-phosphate dehydrogenase). Glycolysis is the main energy-producing pathway of the cell during anaerobic conditions.

  • Metabolism in Biochemistry Reactions

    b) Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and fructose-6-phosphate, formed from the 5-carbon sugar phosphates, may enter Glycolysis, for synthesis of ATP. The pathway also produces some NADPH.

  • aerobic respiration of glucose

    A second energy conversion pathway contained in the mitochondria known as the electron transport chain accomplishes this process. This pathway is a complex arrangement of enzymes and proteins making up 40 redox centers and 50 polypeptides.

  • Concept map on metabolism

    The pathway of glycolysis can be seen as consisting of 2 separate phases. The first is the chemical priming phase requiring energy in the form of ATP, and the second is considered the energy-yielding phase.
