Glycolysis Step 1
Breaking Down Glucose: glucose is converted to a 6-C compound and ADP is produced. The 6-C compound is broken down to two 3-C sugars
Alcoholic Fermentation
Pyruvate is broken down to make ethanol and releases carbon dioxide. NADH is oxidized to NAD+
Glycolysis Step Two
NADH Production: the 3-C compound reacts with a phosphate group and Hydrogen atoms are transferred to NAD+, which makes NADH
Glycolysis Step 3
Pyruvate Production: the 3-C sugars are converted to 3-C pyruvates and 4 ATPs are produced
Lactic Acid Fermentation
Pyruvate is converted to lactic acid and NADH is converted to NAD+
Cellular Respiration Formula
C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6H2O + 6CO2
