Document Summary

Atp is hydrolyzed to adp and inorganic phosphate, releasing. In the _________ of adequate oxygen, glucose is fermented in the. Atp (adenosine triphosphate) - energy currency of the cell approximately 7. 3 kcal/mol of energy (= -7. 3 or +7. 3?) Metabolism converts molecules in small steps, each catalyzed by a specific enzyme. In the cytoplasm glucose is oxidized to pyruvate. Depending on the availability of oxygen, there are two pathways for the further metabolism of pyruvate: cytoplasm to lactic acid (animals) or ethanol (plants and yeast [and sometimes in animals, e. g. , cold-adapted goldfish]). Fermentation to lactate and ethanol regenerates nad so that glycolysis can continue. produced when glycogen is the starting material. ) Krebs cycle (in mitochondria), being converted to acetyl coa and co2. Because pyruvate is a 3-carbon compound and glucose is a 6-carbon compound, there are two "turns" of the krebs cycle per glucose molecule.
