So this question asks us to complete the statement.
00:06
In glycolysis, blink is oxidized and blink is reduced.
00:13
Let's quickly remember that oxidation is the loss of electrons, and reduction will be gaining electrons.
00:29
And this will be true for any redox reaction that you're looking.
00:33
At.
00:36
Thinking about this specifically in the context of glycolysis, first looking at our answer choices, all of these are related to cellular respiration.
00:50
And so none of the answers pop out immediately is something that is easy to eliminate.
00:59
So what we can do next is to think more specifically about what glycolysis is.
01:07
So glycolysis is a series of reactions that extract energy from glucose by splitting it into two pyruvate molecules.
01:16
If this is difficult to remember, just think of what the name glycolysis means.
01:22
So glycolysis means splitting of sugar.
01:28
Now, if we write out what these reactions look like, more specifically, we're going to, sorry, we'll start with a glucose molecule.
01:45
And through this series of reactions, which is this single arrow is a summary for nine reactions, we'll turn this into two pyruvate molecules...
