Discribe varius part of glucose break down in orgains |
| Answer» Glucose is first divided into pyruvate in cytoplasm. This step is same in all organisms. This step is known as Glycolysis and some amount of energy is also released during this step. Further breakdown of pyruvate takes place in the following ways:1. In Yeast: In the absence of oxygen, pyruvate is broken down into etanol,carbon dioxide and some amount of energy is also released .2. In Muscle cells: Due to lack of oxygen , pyruvate is broken down into lactic acid and some amount of energy is also released. 3. In most of aerobic organisms: In the presence of oxygen, pyruvate is broken down into carbon dioxide , water and large amount of energy is also released. This aerobic respiration takes place in the mitochondria of cells and is called Krebs cycle. | |
