Basically
This metabolic pathway is the first stage of glucose metabolism in organisms.
What is glycolysis?
This enzyme catalyzes the phosphorylation of glucose to glucose‑6‑phosphate.
What is hexokinase?
This molecule is oxidized to form 1,3‑bisphosphoglycerate.
What is glyceraldehyde‑3‑phosphate (G3P)?
This enzyme catalyzes the final step of glycolysis, producing pyruvate.
What is pyruvate kinase?
This form of glycolysis results in the conversion of glucose to lactate.
What is anaerobic glycolysis?
Glucose‑6‑phosphate is converted into this molecule by glucose phosphate isomerase.
What is fructose‑6‑phosphate?
This coenzyme is reduced during the oxidation of G3P.
What is NAD⁺?
Under anaerobic conditions, pyruvate is reduced to this molecule to regenerate NAD⁺.
What is lactate?
Glycolysis converts one molecule of glucose into two molecules of this final product.
What is pyruvate?
This key regulatory enzyme catalyzes phosphorylation of fructose‑6‑phosphate.
What is phosphofructokinase (PFK)?
ATP is produced from ADP in this type of phosphorylation during glycolysis.
What is substrate‑level phosphorylation?
This enzyme converts pyruvate to lactate in animals.
What is lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)?
Glycolysis occurs under these conditions and does not require oxygen.
What are anaerobic conditions?
Fructose‑1,6‑bisphosphate is cleaved into two three‑carbon molecules by this enzyme.
What is aldolase?
This enzyme catalyzes ATP formation from 1,3‑bisphosphoglycerate.
What is phosphoglycerate kinase?
In alcoholic fermentation, pyruvate is first converted into this molecule.
What is acetaldehyde?
This is the total number of ATP molecules produced net per glucose molecule during glycolysis.
What is 2 ATP?
This triose phosphate is converted into glyceraldehyde‑3‑phosphate by triosephosphate isomerase.
What is dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP)?
This high‑energy molecule donates a phosphate to ADP to form ATP and pyruvate.
What is phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP)?
This cofactor (vitamin B1 derivative) is required by pyruvate decarboxylase.
What is thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP)?
