Question

how to remember glycolosis

Answer 1

Mnemonics is the easiest way to memorize glycolysis quickly . I have used this technique the day before the test, and sometimes minutes before the test with a pretty solid success rate.


Using Mnemonics to Memorize glycolysis
Glycolysis is the first stage of cellular respiration and is responsible for converting sugar such as glucose into products that can be used in the next stage of cellular respiration (The Citric Acid Cycle)

To memorize Glycolysis you should not just look at the mnemonic and try to remember it. You should look at this, say it out loud, and write it down several times by memory. This helps people learn in a visual, auditory, and hands on manner.

To memorize glycolysis I use the following mnemonic:

Girls Get Free Food
Guys Dine with Good Girls
Boys Pretend to Pay for the Pricy People
