Question

what do you understand about glycolyses write a discussion of atleast 100words

Answer 1

Glycolysis is also know as EMP pathway. It is the sequence of 10 enzyme-catalyzed reactions that converts glucose into pyruvate with simultaneous production on of ATP. In this oxidative process, 1mol of glucose is partially oxidised to 2 moles of pyruvate. This pathway of glucose metabolism occurs in the cytosol of cell. This unique pathway occurs aerobically as well as anaerobically & doesn't involve molecular oxygen.It also includes formation of Lactate from Pyruvate. The sequence of glycolytic reactions differ from species to species in the mechanism of its regulation & in the metabolic fate of the pyruvate. In aerobic organisms, glycolysis is preliminary to the Citric acid cycle and ETC. Glycolysis is the central pathway for Glucose catabolism.
