Question

Glycolysis breaks down glucose in 10 enzymatic steps. In the steps where the glycolysis intermediates are oxidized, the electrons are transferred to electron-carrier molecules that bring the reducing equivalents to the electron-transport chain. The electron-transport chain uses the reducing equivalents to generate a proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane. This proton gradient is used to drive the synthesis of ATP by the ATPase enzyme. Sort the following molecules according to whether they are produced in the glycolytic pathway, either as products of the reactions or as side products. Drag the items into the appropriate bin.

Explanation / Answer

Glycolysis involves the breaking down of a sugar (generally glucose) into more manageable compounds in order to produce energy. The net end products of glycolysis are two Pyruvate, two NADH, and two ATP

Products of glycolysis: 1. Pyruvate

2. NADH                                

Others: 1. Glucose

            2. FADH2

            3. Arachidonic acid   

            4. Creatine-kinase
