3. “Glycose”- Glucose and “Lysis”- Breakdown, hence glycolysis is
breakdown of glucose,
It is also known as Embden–Meyerhof–Parnas (EMP) pathway and
occurs in cytoplasm.
Defined as the sequence of reactions converting glucose to
pyruvate (Aerobic) or lactate (Anaerobic) with the production of
ATP.
Pathway can be separated into two phases:
a. Preparatory (or Investment phase) – where ATP is consumed.
b. Pay Off phase – where ATP is produced.

6. Irreversible Steps in Glycolysis
- The enzymes catalyzing these steps regulate
glycolysis.
- Hexokinase of glucokinase
- Phosphofructokinase
- Pyruvate kinase
Net ATP production : 2 molecules of ATP produced
per molecule of Glucose.
(2 NADH2 on oxidative phosphorylation gives 6
ATP)

8. Given by Hans Krebs.
Also known as Citric Acid cycle (CAC),
Tricarboxylic Acid (TCA) cycle.
Occurs in mitochondria and gives 3 NADH2,
1 GTP and 1 FADH2 along with 2 CO2.
Main function is to produce electron carriers
needed during ETS.
