Compare and contrast the steps of glycolysis and the Calvin cycle that share the same intermediates. Please be detail.
Answer =
Contrast between glycolysis and Calvin cycle.
calvin cycle | Glycolysis |
1.Calvin cycle is part of the light -independent reactions of photosynthesis. | 1.The glycolysis is the catabolic pathway of glucose by which glucose is converted into the pyruvate. |
2.calvin cycle uses NADPH and ATP . | 2.Glycolysis generates 2 molecules of ATP and NADH. |
3. The final product is Glucose it means that it generates glucose. | 3.Glycolysis oxidises glucose. |
4.Occurs in absence of oxygen | 4.Occurs in absence or presence of oxygen. |
Comparison between glycolysis and Calvin cycle as follows:
Both cycle involves GLucose , calvin produces glucose and glycolysis uses glucose.
Both have a common intermediate 3- PGA that is 3- phosphoglycerate.
