Objectives for Glycolysis

Learning Objectives for "Glycolysis" Section

After completing this section you should be able to perform the following objectives.

1. Briefly describe the function of glycolysis during aerobic respiration and indicate the reactants and products.

2. State whether or not glycolysis requires oxygen.

3. Compare where glycolysis occurs in prokaryotic cells and in eukaryotic cells.

4. State whether steps 1 and 3 of glycolysis are exergonic or endergonic and indicate why.

5. State why one molecule of glucose is able to produce two molecules of pyruvate during glycolysis.

6. Define substrate-level phosphorylation.

7. State the total number and the net number of ATP produced by substrate-level phosphorylation during glycolysis.

8. During aerobic respiration, state what happens to the 2 NADH produced during glycolysis.

9. During aerobic respiration, state what happens to the two molecules of pyruvate produced during glycolysis.
