Explanation:
-Chemical formula of this sugar.
C6H12O6
Carbohydrates molecules that supply energy and provide support; they consist of mainly sugars or starches in long chains and rings to form monosaccharide monomers. Inclusive of monosaccharides, disaccharides and polysaccharides (which describes the type of bonding and the degree of complexity of the polymers), their basic makeup comprises C, H, O -with many polar OH groups.
Glucose is the favored source of carbon (over others like xylose) for many organisms as it can be immediately processed for energy generation in cellular metabolic processes like respiration. This energy produced in the form of ATP is used for other reactions involved in growth and development. These include the urea and citric acid cycle where all amino acids (except eight) are produced as reaction byproducts.
-Name of process that splits Glucose in half.
Glycolysis: occurs in the cytoplasm 2 molecules of ATP are used to cleave glucose into 2 pyruvates, 4 ATP and 2 electron carrying NADH molecules.
Is this process aerobic or anaerobic?
-anerobic
Glycolysis occurs in the cell's...
-Cytoplasm
The cytoplasm is a fluid filed space within the cell's interior. The cytoplasm encompasses all organelles within the intracellular cell space (excluding the nucleus); these organelles such as the golgi complex, mitochondria and ribosomes- they are surrounded by fluid called the cytosol. It contains many water molecules maintained in an osmotic gradient through osmosis and diffusion.
Number of ATP created in this process. - 4 ATP
The glycolytic pathway, functions outside of the mitochondria in the cytoplasm. It does not require oxygen. At the beginning of glycolysis, glucose is modified and phosphorylated to form fructose-1,6-bisphosphate. This unstable sugar cleaves into 3 carbon sugars with phosphates attached, using two ATPs in the process. These form glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) and DHAP which is also converted to G3P.
Via several steps, each G3P is converted into the 3 Carbon pyruvic acid. Here 2 ATPs, 1 NADH, are produced; this step ocurrs two times- thus 4 ATPs and 2NADHs are obtained.
The products of glycolysis includes ATP and...
2 pyruvates, 4 ATP and 2 electron carrying NADH
Organelle where the Krebs Cycle and electron transport chain takes place.
In all eukaryotic cells mitochondria are small cellular organelles bound by membranes, these make most of the chemical energy required for powering the biochemical reactions within the cell. This chemical energy is stored within the molecule ATP which is produced. Respiration in the mitochondria utilizes oxygen for the production of ATP in the Krebs’ or Citric acid cycle via the oxidization of pyruvate( through the process of glycolysis in the cytoplasm).
Overall: C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ≈38 ATP
