Cellular Respiration Part 1: Glycolysis

You need energy to do literally anything, even just lay still and think. Where does this energy come from? Well, food, right? But how? This is one of the most miraculous biological processes, and it happens in our bodies every moment of every day. It's quite complicated, so let's check it out in three sections. First up, glycolysis!

Check out "Is This Wi-Fi Organic?", my book on disarming pseudoscience!

When I graduate med school I will be making a hefty donation to this guy. He has saved my butt.

[beauthetford]

you're way better than my textbook and my professor combined

[leslieaharden]

Thank you. Have been watching your DNA videos to supplement my biology class at UT in Arlington. Work in Engineering for the VA hospital and decided to study nursing. Thank you for clarifying!

This 8:11 min. video is much better than a one hour class, and that table at end which comprises all the important details and names of enzymes are mind blowing.Keep helping us like this. Thanks😀

You have explained me concepts in 8 flat minutes which I did not understand in a two hour lecture. You are a legend Sir!

P.S. The introductory song is very catchy.

Thanks again Professor Dave, so far you have a video for all the topics we are covering in Biology. The videos are really helpful, I watch them after I read a lesson. I introduced one of my classmates to your videos. You are appreciated.

you are a present to the world man i'm a loyal subscriber keep up the detailed interesting videos your THE MAN!!

[maureenkaluba]

Fell into depression cause I couldn't understand this topic in time for my med exams ...but wow ...that was so short, simplified but detailed at the same time🥺❤️👏 thank you professor God bless you

[eroschirurgi]

Thank you
Years later & still find myself watching your videos.
You’re the GOAT!

[j.g.]

This is very comprehensive, well-explained, and easy to follow compared to a lot other vids on the topic. Thanks a ton for making this.

sooo basically,
Glucose (6C) splits into 2 (3C) Pyruvate
1. 1 phosphate added to 1 side (-1 ATP)
2. 1 phosphate other to 1 side (-1 ATP)
3. 6C splits into 2 C3
4. Hydride (H-) removed from each, reducing 2 NAD+ to NADH (or FAD+ -> FADH2?) .
5. Hydrides are replaced with an inorganic phosphate on both (not from ATP) Now, 2 P’s on either side of both GP3’s)
6. Phosphates on either side of both molecules then split and go to ADP to create 4 ATP, becoming 2 Pyruvates (3C)

NET = 2 ATP & 2 NADH

you are literally doing God's work. Been with me since a freshman. I am now in my Junior year. LEGEND.

[mijellerose]

I wish I found you sooner. This video was so helpful for me. I have one more biochem test after the one I watched this video for. I'll definitely be watching more this semester!

[amorestperpe]

It's amazing that you don't know this stuff but are able to teach it to people well enough that it is better than their college professors and they actually understand it.

[thedisintegrador]

This is just way too good. I find myself watching these just out of curiosity and not because I need it... When I think about it, I need this more than anything. Just knowing it is awesome. Thank you for your effort

[wagnerlopes]

Another great class and another confirmation of outstanding machine our body is!

[PapaMounted]

I love you for that table at the end, fr you dropped this 👑

[kimberlybenjamin]

i always search your channel when it comes to biochemistry, thank you for sharing this video! it really helps us. your video is much better than the other channels because it was more precise and your speech was clear. :)

and btw, im from the philippines :) i will share your channel to my classmates!

[patrickmarkflores]

thank you for this video prof. I almost spend 5hrs in watching other videos about glycolysis from various channel but thanks God your explained it very well. You're the living Gift from God for me.

[javiersalinas]

My professor recommended me this video and is just Gold! I can't believe a good video like this exists
