6.
How many ATP molecules are required to start glycolysis?


Sagot :

1. ATP - Adenosine Triphosphate
2. Having 3 phosphates is ideal because the energy required to break off 1 phosphate group from ATP to form ADP issues considerable energy, while also leaving the ADP molecule enough to attract a phosphate group and become ATP again
3. ADP is different from ATP because there is one less phosphate in ADP. ADP stands for Adenosine Diphosphate meaning it has 2 phosphate groups (di), and ATP stands for Adenosine Triphosphate meaning it has 3 phosphate groups (tri)
4. Phases of cellular respiration are (chronologically); glycolysis, private oxidation, Krebs cycle, electron transport chain
5. Glycolysis is the first stage of cellular respiration where the glucose molecule is changed in a series of 10 steps to form 2 pyruvate molecules
6. 2 molecules of ATP must be used to start glycolysis
