Define Glycolysis and explain |
| Answer» \tThe term glycolysis has originated from the Greek words, glycos for sugar, and lysis for splitting.\tThe scheme of glycolysis was given by Gustav Embden, Otto Meyerhof, and J. Parnas, and is often referred to as the EMP pathway.\tGlycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell and it is the only process in anaerobic organisms.\tGlycolysis is the process in which glucose, derived from sucrose, undergoes partial oxidation to form two molecules of pyruvic acid.\tGlucose and fructose are phosphorylated to give rise to glucose-6- phosphate by the activity of the enzyme hexokinase. | |
