What is the purpose of glycolysis? Say the products as well.
Is a biochemical pathway that releases energy and splits glucose into smaller compounds. (Pyruvate, NADH, and ATP)
You have 30 seconds to write down in sequential order from left to right these words
What are the products of the pyruvate oxidation?
Acetyl CoA + CO2
Where do plants mainly get their carbon?
Carbon dioxide from the environment.
Write all the "Inputs" of LDR including electron carriers
H2O, photons, NADP+, ADP
Is it true that NADP+ becomes oxidized ?
No, it gains e- so it gets reduced
How is energy released from ATP?
Energy is released when chemical bonds are broken.

Cyanobacteria
What are protons?
H+
Fermentation allows glycolysis to proceed in ___________________.
the absence of oxygen
What are the products of the Krebs cycle? (Include also the electron carriers)
