Question : What is glycolysis ? Describe varioussteps involved in glycolysis using schematic representation. |
|
Answer» Solution :Glycolysis:Glycolysis the first phase respiration in which hexose SUGAR (glucose) is broken down through a series of stepwiseenzymatic REACTIONS leading to the formation of pyruvate. The term glycolysis is an old term. It has now been replaced by a new term EMP pathway after its discoverers, VIZ., Embden, Meyerhof and PARNAS. The EMP pathway is a COMMON pathway for the degradation of glucose in both aerobicand anaerobic respiration . It occurs in the cytoplasm of a cell. 2. Schematic representationof EMP pathway :
