What happens during glycolysis?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Glycolysis is the process in which one glucose molecule is broken down to form two molecules of pyruvic acid.

Glycolysis is common phase for both aerobic and anaerobic respiration . Glycolysis involves series of ten biochemical reactions in cytoplasm. In glycolysis neither consumption of oxygen nor liberation of carbon dioxide takes place. In glycolysis one 1 glucose produces 2 mol of pyruvic acid(3C).

2 NADH2 and 2 ATP are generated in glycolysis which are equal to 8 ATP. Glycolysis is also known as oxidative anabolism or catabolic resynthesis because it links with anabolism of fat and amino acids. An intermediate PGAL is used for the synthesis of glycerol ,lateral forms fats or lipids . PGAL is used for the synthesis of serine ,glycine and cystine. Alanime forms from pyruvate.
