Glycolysis Comic Strip
نص القصة المصورة
- Olivia arrives at school
- I have to take a really big biology exam today! I hope my brain is able to remember all the information I was studying last night.
- Inside Olivia's brain...
- Olivia is about to take her biology exam which means that her neurons need to be ready to be trigged by synapses to remember important information, which requires energy. We need our cells to start undergoing glycolysis in order to create the energy needed!
- In the third step, fructose 6-phosphate phosphorylates to become fructose 1,6-bisphosphate.
- Inside the cytoplasm of Olivia's cells...
- In the second step, glucose 6-phosphate is isomerized to become fructose 6-phosphate.
- In the first step of glycolysis, glucose phosphorylates to glucose 6-phosphate which results in the loss of one ATP molecule.
-
- In the fourth step, fructose 1,6-bisphosphate divides into two three-carbon molecules.
- In the sixth step, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate is oxidized to become 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate.
- In the fifth step, dihydroxyacetone phosphate and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate are interconverted.
- In the eighth step, 3-phosphoglycerate is converted into 2-phosphoglycerate.
- In the seventh step, a phosphate group from 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate is transferred to ADP to form an ATP molecule and 3-phosphoglycerate.
- ATP
- In the ninth step, 2-phosphoglycerate forms phosphoenolpyruvate through a dehydration reaction.
- In the tenth step, a phosphate group is transferred from phosphoenolpyruvate to ADP to form an ATP molecule and a pyruvate.
- Result: 2 ATP molecules, 2 NADH molecules and 2 pyruvate molecules
