Cellular Respiration: Glycolysis
o
Glucose is the main source of energy in the human body, the symbol equation for respiration is:
C6H12O6 + 6O2 ---> 6H2O + 6CO2
o
Cells need to release energy in slow segments and so need the ability to store the energy
...
This is done using triose
phosphate isomerase:
Two molecules of glyceraldehyde 3-phospahte now continue down the pathway
o
Each glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate is now converted to 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate using the enzyme
‘glyceraldehyde 3-phospahte dehydrogenase’
...
This, therefore,
forms two pyruvate
molecules and 2 ATP
molecules
The net gain of ATP
therefore, is 4
The main point of this
process is to make
pyruvate, NOT ATP
