Transcript Glycolysis
Cellular Respiration
Stage 1:
Glycolysis

What’s the
point?
The point
is to make
ATP!

Glycolysis
Breaking down glucose
“glyco – lysis” (splitting sugar)
glucose pyruvate
2x 3C
6C
ancient pathway which harvests energy
where energy transfer first evolved
transfer energy from organic molecules to ATP
still is starting point for ALL cellular respiration
but it’s inefficient
generate only 2 ATP for every 1 glucose
occurs in cytosol
AP Biology
That’s not enough
ATP for me!
In the
cytosol?
Why does
that make
evolutionary
sense?
Evolutionary perspective
Prokaryotes
first cells had no organelles
Enzymes
of glycolysis are
“well-conserved”
Anaerobic atmosphere
life on Earth first evolved without free oxygen (O2)
in atmosphere
energy had to be captured from organic molecules
in absence of O2
Prokaryotes that evolved glycolysis are ancestors
of all modern life
AP Biology
ALL cells still utilize glycolysis
You mean
we’re related?
Do I have to invite
them over for
the holidays?
Overview
glucose
C-C-C-C-C-C
10 reactions
enzyme
2 ATP
enzyme
2 ADP
convert
fructose-1,6bP
glucose (6C) to
P-C-C-C-C-C-C-P
enzyme
enzyme
2 pyruvate (3C)
enzyme
DHAP
G3P
produces:
4 ATP & 2 NADH P-C-C-C C-C-C-P
2H
consumes:
2Pi enzyme
2 ATP
enzyme
net yield:
2Pi
enzyme
2 ATP & 2 NADH
DHAP = dihydroxyacetone phosphate
AP Biology
G3P
= glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate
pyruvate
C-C-C
2 NAD+

4 ADP
4 ATP
Is that all there is?
Not a lot of energy…
for 1 billon years+ this is how life on
Earth survived
no O2 = slow growth, slow reproduction
only harvest 3.5% of energy stored in glucose
more carbons to strip off = more energy to harvest

Going to run out of NAD+

H2O
without regenerating NAD+,
energy production would stop! Phosphoenolpyruvate
(PEP)
another molecule must accept HADP

from NADH
ATP
so
AP Biology
NAD+ is freed up for another round

How is NADH recycled to NAD+?
Another molecule
must accept H
from NADH

without oxygen

which path you
use depends on
AP Biology
who
you are…
Krebs

ethanol
alcohol
fermentation
Fermentation (anaerobic)
Bacteria, yeast
pyruvate ethanol + CO2

Animals, some fungi

Alcohol Fermentation

Dead end process
at ~12% ethanol,
kills yeast
can’t reverse the
reaction
Count the

Reversible process
once O2 is available,
lactate is converted
back to pyruvate by
the liver

set up a H+ gradient
allow H+ to flow
through ATP synthase
powers bonding

But…
Have we done that yet?
NO!
There’s still more
to my story!
