Concept explainers
To compare: The energy yields of glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation.
Concept introduction: Glycolysis is a ten-step
To determine: The pathway that releases more usable energy.
Concept introduction: Glycolysis is a ten-step metabolic process that takes place in the cytosol of the cell. It involves the splitting of the six carbon-glucose molecules into two three-carbon molecules called pyruvate. Oxidative phosphorylation takes place in the mitochondria. In this process, ATP is generated from the oxidation of NADH and FADH2 and the subsequent transfer of electrons and pumping of protons.
