Question

can anybody explain to me what's glycolysis

Answer 1

glycolysis is a part of cellular respiration in which 1 glucose molecule is converted into 2 molecules of pyruvate...aand in this process ATP is given out...

Answer 2

this would help u

Answer 3

what i'm confused i'll watch it later but explain more please

Answer 4

ok...so first of all cellular respiration is a process in which glucose is used to get energy. this process is divided into 3 steps..gylcolysis,krebs cycle and electron transport chain

Answer 5

ok go on

Answer 6

glycolysis is the first step....in this glucose is taken and broken down.....it is broken down into variuos intermediate compounds and then finally converted into 2 molecules of pyruvate.

Answer 7

during this break down process...as the bonds are broken..energy is released...this energy is stored in the form of ATP which is adenosine triphosphate

Answer 8

ok so what does the kreb cycle do

Answer 9

krebs cycle then takes this pyruvate molecules and further breaks it down into intermediate compounds and then there is further release of energy...

Answer 10

some of the energy is also released in the form of NADH2 FADH2 ie nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide and Flavin adenine dinucleotide. so these kind of molecules are taken up by electron transport system/chain and is converted into ATP. since ATP is the usable form of energy

Answer 11

um ok thanks & have a goodnight

Answer 12

its morning here..but gn to u..:D
and happy 2 help:)

Answer 13

ok where do u live

Answer 14

Glycolysis is the process of splitting up the carbon bonds found in sugar and transferring the energy previously stored in those bonds into phosphotidyl bonds found in compounds like NAD/NADP, AMP, ADP, and ATP.

Glycolysis differs from respiration in that it:
- doesn't require a terminal electron acceptor, like Oxygen, to work
- it extracts substantially less energy
- bond energy is transferred directly from molecule to molecule
Hope I helped !
