2.1.2 Describe the reactions of glycolysis, its energy yield under aerobic and anaerobic conditions, and the fate of pyruvate (pyruvate dehydrogenase, lactate).

Why this video

This video walks step-by-step through all ten enzymatic reactions of glycolysis, clearly breaking down the energy investment and payoff phases and the anaerobic reduction of pyruvate to lactate.

Part of this line

Covers part of this objective. It leaves out: It does not teach the aerobic fate of pyruvate through the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, including its three catalytic subunits, five coenzymes, and reaction mechanism.

Heads up

Confirm whether the aerobic ATP calculations use modern P/O ratios (2.5 ATP per cytosolic NADH via malate-aspartate shuttle) as required by this course.
