  2. Ammonium perchlorate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonium_perchlorate

    Mild heating results in production of hydrogen chloride, nitrogen, oxygen, and water. 4 NH 4 ClO 4 → 4 HCl + 2 N 2 + 5 O 2 + 6 H 2 O. The combustion of AP is quite complex and is widely studied. AP crystals decompose before melting, even though a thin liquid layer has been observed on crystal surfaces during high-pressure combustion processes ...

    d -Glucose + 2 [NAD] + + 2 [ADP] + 2 [P] i 2 × Pyruvate 2 × + 2 [NADH] + 2 H + + 2 [ATP] + 2 H 2 O Glycolysis pathway overview The use of symbols in this equation makes it appear unbalanced with respect to oxygen atoms, hydrogen atoms, and charges. Atom balance is maintained by the two phosphate (P i) groups: Each exists in the form of a hydrogen phosphate anion, dissociating to contribute ...

  4. Carbohydrate metabolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbohydrate_metabolism

    During the second phase, chemical energy from the intermediates is transferred into ATP and NADH. [2] The breakdown of one molecule of glucose results in two molecules of pyruvate, which can be further oxidized to access more energy in later processes. [1] Glycolysis can be regulated at different steps of the process through feedback regulation.

  5. Cellular waste product - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_waste_product

    Fermentation is another process by which cells can extract energy from glucose. It is not a form of cellular respiration, but it does generate ATP, break down glucose, and produce waste products. Fermentation, like aerobic respiration, begins by breaking glucose into two pyruvate molecules.

  6. Pasteur effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pasteur_effect

    When the O 2 concentration is low, the two pyruvate molecules formed through glycolysis are each fermented into ethanol and carbon dioxide. While only 2 ATP are produced per glucose, this method is utilized under anaerobic conditions because it oxidizes the electron shuttle NADH into NAD + for another round of glycolysis and ethanol fermentation.

  7. Perchlorate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perchlorate

    Perchlorate compounds oxidize organic compounds, especially when the mixture is heated. The explosive decomposition of ammonium perchlorate is catalyzed by metals and heat. [13] As perchlorate is a weak Lewis base (i.e., a weak electron pair donor) and a weak nucleophilic anion, it is also a very weakly coordinating anion. [13]

  8. Glucose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucose

    Neurons, cells of the renal medulla and erythrocytes depend on glucose for their energy production. [71] In adult humans, there is about 18 g (0.63 oz) of glucose, [72] of which about 4 g (0.14 oz) is present in the blood. [73] Approximately 180–220 g (6.3–7.8 oz) of glucose is produced in the liver of an adult in 24 hours. [72]

  9. Substrate-level phosphorylation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substrate-level_phosphory...

    Substrate-level phosphorylation exemplified with the conversion of ADP to ATP. Substrate-level phosphorylation is a metabolism reaction that results in the production of ATP or GTP supported by the energy released from another high-energy bond that leads to phosphorylation of ADP or GDP to ATP or GTP (note that the reaction catalyzed by creatine kinase is not considered as "substrate-level ...
