OVERVIEW
This page covers the topic of glycolysis.
BIG PICTURE
It is an oversimplification, however during glycolysis glucose is metabolized to pyruvate.
STEPS
#) Glucose is turned into glyceradlehyde 3-phasphate
#) Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate is turn into 1,3 BPG
- Requires NAD+ to occur
#) 1,3, BPG is turned into Pyruvate
LACTIC ACID CYCLE
When it happens
Under anaerobic conditions
Importance
Regenerates NAD+ (which is required for glycolysis to occur)
