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.
PYRUVATE OXIDATION. Pyruvate oxidation, which follows glycolysis, is essentially the conversion of pyruvate molecules to carbon dioxide, acetyl coenzyme A, and NADH. The last step of glycolysis produces two pyruvate molecules in the cytosol, which are then brought to the mitochondrial matrix via active transport.YRUVATE OXIDATION.
