After several technological struggles, we reverted back to our good 'ol friend, "the whiteboard." Today we completed the steps of glycolysis, which is the first step in cellular respiration.
Despite all the various chemical names and transitions, please remember the big idea of glycolysis:
1. Happens in the cytosol
2. Breaks down glucose, a 6 carbon sugar, into 2 pyruvates, 3 carbon sugars.
3. Is powered by a shifting of phosphate molecules between ATP and ADP (phosphorylation).
For links to the animations we tried to watch in class, see the post below.
Homework: Rewrite or draw the steps of glycolysis in some way to help you remember them. Nate asked if he could do them on flashcards and string them together, I think this is a great idea. You could make a poster, flip book etc..
