Glycolysis means?? |
|
Answer» If you the ward lysis in biology it means breakdown of something. So glycolysis means break down of sugar. Hi Khushi The word\xa0glycolysis is\xa0of Greek origin, where \'glykos\'\xa0means\xa0sweet, and \'lysis\'\xa0means\xa0splitting. ... Hence,\xa0Glycolysis literally means\xa0"sugar splitting" or "sugar breaking"; this accurately describes the process of\xa0glycolysis, in which a 6-carbon sugar molecule\xa0is\xa0broken down into two 3-carbon molecules.\xa0The\xa0main purpose of glycolysis\xa0is to provide pyruvate for the trichloroacetic acid (TCA) cycle, not to make adenosine 5′-triphosphate. The\xa0glycolytic\xa0production of pyruvate reduces the cytosol by increasing the ratio of NADH [a reduced form of NAD+\xa0(nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide)] to NAD+. |
