Document Summary

* the first step in gaining energy from glucose. In the preparatory phase, glucose is broken down/cleaved into two 3-carbon molecules energy is needed to break covalent bonds. * payback stage: the investment of energy into molecules during the preparatory phase can be recovered with an additional amount of energy. The two 3-carbon entities (produced at the end of the preparatory phase) enter the rest of the glycolysis pathway and yield both reduced cofactors. So, one of the reasons a phosphate group is added from atp is because it is large and charged, so the way that glucose comes in through its carriers is no longer available to it. * the overall yield on one glycolytic pathway is 2atp and two nadh. * glucose can enter the pentose phosphate pathway where the 6-carbon glucose is converted to the. * the production of pyruvate in glycolysis only yields 2 atp per glucose, and some potential atp in the form of nadh.
