Question

1. Write short notes on any one of the following
a. Mechanism of glycolysis
b. Long day and short day plant..?​

Answer 1

Answer:Glycolysis is the process in which one glucose molecule is broken down to form two molecules of pyruvic acid (also called pyruvate). The glycolysis process is a multi-step metabolic pathway that occurs in the cytoplasm of animal cells, plant cells, and the cells of microorganisms.

Explanation:

Glucose is a key metabolite in human metabolism, and we will spend a good bit of time on the various pathways that are concerned with the utilization, storage, and regeneration of glucose. The first step in the degradation of glucose is glycolysis, which breaks down glucose to pyruvate. The main purpose of glycolysis is the generation of energy (ATP). A modest amount of ATP is produced in glycolysis directly, but much more ATP is formed downstream of glycolysis through the complete oxidation of pyruvate.

Answer 2

Glycolysis is the first step in the breakdown of glucose to extract energy for cellular metabolism. Glycolysis consists of an energy-requiring phase followed by an energy-releasing phase.
