Glycolysis Worksheet
Name:
Part A Directions: Look at the the following image and fix
it. Add in the energy used (or gained) and the electron
carriers gaining the electrons. Each person in the group
should do this.
Glucose
Fructose 1,6
Bisphosphate
2 Pyruvate
Part B Directions: Look at the the previous image and
answer the questions about it. Answer on a separate
sheet of paper. Each person in the group must do at least
3 questions. Indicate which questions you are doing.
1. What is the chemical equation of cellular respiration?
(Hint: it is related to the chemical equation for
photosynthesis.)
2. Where does glycolysis take place?
3. What part of glycolysis is the energy investment phase?
4. What does it mean for it to be an "investment"?
5. Which part of glycolysis is the energy payoff phase?
6. What does it mean by "payoff"?
7. What is the net amount of ATP produced by glycolysis?
8. How much ATP must be used in glycolysis?
9. How many pyruvate are made from 1 glucose molecule?
10. How many glucose molecules would be needed for 30
pyruvate?
11. How many NAD+ molecules are used in glycolysis? How
many NADH molecules are made from 1 glucose?
12. Explain what glycolysis means.
Part C Directions: On your own, create a story that
symbolizes or conveys what glycolysis does.
