No. To break a protein down into its amino acids you will need enzymes. Enzymes are biological molecules (proteins) that act as catalysts and help complex reactions occur everywhere in life. Letâs say you ate a piece of meat. Proteases would go to work and help break down the peptide bonds between the amino acids.
Glycolysis itself does not output CO2. Just after glycolysis the 2 pyruvates which are derived from the glucose molecule during glycolysis, are converted into 2 acetyl CoA in â¦ the process of which one CO2 per pyruvate is released. After that the 2 acetyl CoA's enter the Kerbs cycle and a further 2 CO2's are produced for each.
3 NADH molecules and 1 FADH molecule is produced for every turn of the Krebs cycle. One molecule of glucose will result in two turns of the Krebs cycle because two pyruvate molecules are the result of one glucose molecule (pyruvate if fed into the Krebs cycle after it is converted into acetyl-CoA).
