    Glycolysis converts glucose into pyruvate to produce energy in the form of ATP. It is a multi-step process where glucose is broken down into two pyruvate molecules along with producing a net yield of 2 ATP, NADH, and FADH2. The energy from NADH and FADH2 can then be used to produce more ATP through later stages of cellular respiration like fermentation. Fermentation allows yeast, bacteria, and muscles to continue producing ATP without oxygen by converting pyruvate into other products like ethanol or lactic acid.

    Glycolisis

    Glycolisis purpose

    • to convert energy trapped within glucose to energy available to do


    work in cell in the form of ATP
    low energy compound high energy compound

    NAD+ NADH + H+

    FAD FADH2

    ADP ATP

    Energy Facts

    a. each glucose molecule has 2870 kJ/mol free


    energy in it
    b. it requires 31 kJ/mol to make 1 ATP

    c. therefore each glucose molecule can


    theoretically make
    2870 kJ/mol = 90 + ATP
    31 kJ/mol

    d. so far, we have made a NET of 2 ATP


    2/90 = ~2% efficiency

    Alcoholic Fermentation

    • Yeast and
    bacteria use
    this to supply
    energy.
    Lactic Fermentation
    (Microorganism)

    • Many bacteria and yeasts


    carry out fermentation.
    • Yogurt, bread, wine, and
    biofuels.
    • Lactobacillus species,
    perform biochemical
    conversions of milk
    components.
    Lactic Fermentation
    (Muscle)

    • When
    oxygen is
    scarce.
    • Lactic acid
    produce
    energy in the
    muscles.
    • Muscle
    fatigue
