Energy of Glucose Metabolism
Glucose is metabolized via several connected and coupled reactions. The potential energy in glucose bonds are converted into potential energy in the bonds of ATP and electron carriers.
- Glycolysis has an overall negative ΔG, and the energy is transferred to energy-storing molecules ATP, NADH, and FADH2.
- ATP produced in glycolysis is called Substrate Level Phosphorylation and occurs in the cytoplasm.
Wize Tip
Reminder: Oxidized atoms are losing electrons (or losing bonds with hydrogen atoms) and reduced atoms can be seen as gaining electrons (or gaining bonds to hydrogen atoms).
Practice: Glycolysis Electron Carriers
This/These electron carriers are produced during glycolysis (select all that apply)
