1) Glycoloysis
- The splitting of 6C glucose molecule
into two 3C pyruvate molecules.
- 1) Glucose must be made more reactive through
the addition of two phosphate molecules which are
provided from the hydrolysis of ATP to ADP. This
provides the energy to activate glucose.
- 2) Each glucose molecule is split into
two 3C triose phosphate molecules.
- 3) Hydrogen is removed from each of the TP molecules
and transferred to NAD (hydrogen-carrier) into NADH.
- 4) Enzyme-controlled reactions convert each TP into a
3C pyruvate molecule. During this process, two
molecules of ATP are regenerated from APD.
- In anaerobic respiration, the pyruvate can be
fermented into either alcohol or lactate.
- Alcohol fermentation:
- Lactate fermentation:
- Occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell.
