Glycolysis 1 Lecture 22 Pages 427-439
With or without O2 • Early Earth had no oxygen • Just a form of glycolysis existed before that time
ATP & Heat • Three key food types - sugars, fats, & proteins • Three stage breakdown - • Digestion - reduces large polymers to subunits - sugars, fatty acids & glycerol, and amino acids • outside cells - gut • inside cells in lysozymes • Oxidative Breakdown GLYCOLYSIS - cytosol and mitrochondria • Complete oxidation - within mitrochondria
GLYCOLYSIS - No oxygen needed for this 10 step phase Net result is the formation of just two ATP molecules & also two molecules of NADH 13_03_glycolysis.jpg A typical cell has about a billion ATP molecules at one time. These are used and regenerated with a minute or two!
FERMENTATION - Without oxygen - there is really only fermentation. Two main types - Generation of lactate - as in muscle cels running without oxygen. The lactate is excreted from the cell…
The alternative, as seen here, is the formation of ethanol. Both take place in the cytosol.
With Oxygen… • The pyruvate generated by glycolysis is rapidly degraded to yield lots of energy and CO2 • Oxygen is eventually needed for the process to continue • CITRIC ACID CYCLE
