Lone Rock Beach and Horseshoe Bend in Page, Arizona. After we left Holbrook, we headed over towards Flagstaff, Arizona to stock up on some supplies and do some housekeeping.
Glycolysis involves nine distinct reactions that convert glucose into pyruvate. In this section, we will cover the first four of these reactions, which convert glucose into glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate.
1 Glucose is then broken down by a series of enzymes. 2  2 ATP are used to fuel glycolysis and 4 are created so the body gains 2 ATP to use for muscular contraction. 3  Pyruvate is created as the end product of the breakdown of glucose.4  As oxygen is present pyruvate is converted into a substance called 'acetyl coenzyme A'. Initially stored glycogen is converted to glucose. 2  Glucose is then broken down by a series of enzymes. 3  2 ATP are used to fuel glycolysis and 4 are created so the body gains 2 ATP to use for muscular contraction. 4  Pyruvate is created as the end product of the breakdown of glucose.
