please note for cr/nc mode only: faculty has the option of recording either the letter grade or the cr or nc grade on the grade roster. The system will automatically convert the letter grade to the appropriate CR/NC grade based on the rule for the student level. r REMEDIAL NORMAL GRADE - The course is a remedial course and faculty will assign a normal grade.
The complete oxidation of glucose is the process which turns glucose into water, carbon dioxide and energy. Glucose oxidation occurs in the cells and is part of cellular respiration. Oxidation of glucose, also known as glycolysis, is the process which releases energy stored in glucose by combining it with oxygen. During glycolysis, carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in one molecule of glucose recombine with six molecules of oxygen.
In glycolysis, glucose (a six carbon sugar) is split into two molecules of the three-carbon sugar pyruvate. This multi-step process yields two molecules of ATP (free energy containing molecule), two molecules of pyruvate, and two high energy electron carrying molecules of NADH. Glycolysis can occur with or without oxygen. In the presence of oxygen, glycolysis is the first stage of cellular respiration. In the abscence of oxygen, glycolysis allows cells to make small amounts of ATP through the process of fermentation. Glycolysis takes place in the cytosol of the cell's cytoplasm. However, the next stage of cellular respiration known as the citric acid cycle, occurs in the matrix of cell mitochondria. Below are the 10 steps of glycolysis: Step 1
