2.1. explain the sequence of Explanation of the
steps in glycolysis; stepwise breakdown of
glucose in cellular
respiration; Names of
enzymes not required.
Include the initial
phosphorylation of
glucose, lysis into two 3-
carbon compounds and
the subsequent
production of pyruvate, a
small yield of ATP and
reduced NAD. Recognition
of simplified structural
