Glycolysis
 Breaking down glucose

“glyco – lysis” (splitting sugar)
glucose → → → → → pyruvate
2x 3C
6C

most ancient form of energy capture
 starting point for all cellular respiration

inefficient
 generate only 2 ATP for every 1 glucose

in cytosol
 why does that make evolutionary sense?
AP Biology
2005-2006
Why does it make sense that this happens in the cytosol?
Who evolved first?
3
Evolutionary perspective
 Life on Earth first evolved without
free oxygen (O2) in atmosphere

energy had to be captured from
organic molecules in absence of O2
 Organisms that evolved glycolysis
are ancestors of all modern life

all organisms still utilize
glycolysis
AP Biology
You mean,
I’m related
to them?!
2005-2006
The enzymes of glycolysis are very similar among all organisms. The
genes that code for them are highly conserved.
They are a good measure for evolutionary studies. Compare
eukaryotes, bacteria & archaea using glycolysis enzymes.
Bacteria = 3.5 billion years ago
 glycolysis in cytosol = doesn’t require a membrane-bound
organelle
O2 = 2.7 billion years ago
 photosynthetic bacteria / proto-blue-green algae
Eukaryotes = 1.5 billion years ago
 membrane-bound organelles!
Processes that all life/organisms share:
 Protein synthesis
 Glycolysis
 DNA replication

Destabilizes glucose enough to split it in two

Glycolysis summary
endergonic
invest some ATP
exergonic
harvest a little
more ATP
& a little NADH
AP Biology
2005-2006
Glucose is a stable molecule it needs an activation energy
to break it apart.
phosphorylate it = Pi comes from ATP.
make NADH & put it in the bank for later.

2nd half of glycolysis (5 reactions)
 Oxidation
G3P donates H
 NAD → NADH

 ATP generation
G3P → pyruvate
 donates P
 ADP → ATP

Payola!

Priming reactions. Priming
reactions. Glycolysis begins with
the addition of energy. Two highenergy phosphates from two
molecules of ATP are added to the
six-carbon molecule glucose,
producing a six-carbon molecule
with two phosphates.
AP Biology
Cleavage reactions. Then, the
six-carbon molecule with two
phosphates is split in two, forming
two three-carbon sugar
phosphates.

Energy-harvesting reactions.
Finally, in a series of reactions,
each of the two three-carbon
sugar phosphates is converted to
pyruvate. In the process, an
energy-rich hydrogen is harvested
as NADH, and two ATP molecules
are formed.

Substrate-level Phosphorylation
 In the last step of glycolysis, where
did the P come from to make ATP?
P is transferred
from PEP to ADP
 kinase enzyme
 ADP → ATP
I get it!
The P came
directly from
the substrate!

And that’s how life subsisted for a billion years.
Until a certain bacteria ”learned” how to metabolize O2; which was
previously a poison.
But now pyruvate is not the end of the process
 Pyruvate still has a lot of energy in it that has not been
captured.
 It still has 3 carbons bonded together!
There is still energy stored in those bonds.
It can still be oxidized further.
11
Is that all there is?
 Not a lot of energy…

for 1 billon years+ this is how life on
Earth survived
 only harvest 3.5% of energy stored in glucose
 slow growth, slow reproduction
Heck of a
way to make
a living!
AP Biology
2005-2006
So why does glycolysis still take place?
12
We can’t stop there….
 Glycolysis
glucose + 2ADP + 2Pi + 2 NAD+ →
2 pyruvate + 2ATP + 2NADH
 Going to run out of NAD+
 How is NADH recycled to NAD+?


without regenerating NAD+,
energy production would stop
another molecule must
accept H from NADH

AP Biology
Count the carbons!!
Lactic acid is not a dead end like ethanol. Once you have O2 again,
lactate is converted back to pyruvate by the liver and fed to the Kreb’s
cycle.
