Glycolysis Concept Map: Key Phases and Products
Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that breaks one glucose molecule into two pyruvate molecules in the cytoplasm. It does not need oxygen. The pathway is usually split into an energy-investment phase, where two ATP are spent, and an energy-payoff phase, where four ATP and two NADH are made, giving a net gain of two ATP.
- Energy investment: glucose is phosphorylated and split, using two ATP
- Energy payoff: triose phosphates are oxidized, making ATP and NADH
- Key enzymes: hexokinase, phosphofructokinase and pyruvate kinase set the pace
- Products: two pyruvate, a net two ATP and two NADH
Use the map to revise the order of steps and where energy is gained or spent. To build a version based on your own course notes, upload them to CogniGuide.
Glycolysis Concept Map Questions
Common questions about the pathway and how to map it.
Where does glycolysis take place?
Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell. It occurs in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, and it does not require oxygen or mitochondria.
What is the net yield of glycolysis?
The net yield is two ATP and two NADH per glucose molecule, plus two pyruvate. Four ATP are made in total, but two are used in the early steps.
Which file types can I use to make my map?
You can upload PDF, Word (DOCX), PowerPoint (PPTX), text or Markdown files, or images. You can also type the topic directly.
Can I turn the glycolysis map into a quiz?
Yes. Once the map is built, you can turn it into a quiz to test yourself. The same notes can also be used to create flashcards.
