Conversion of glucose into lactic acid is an example of ___pathway

Answer 1

catabolic pathway...

Answer 2

The conversion of glucose into lactic acid is an example of a catabolic pathway.

• The catabolic process is the process in which complex large molecules are broken down to form smaller and simpler molecules.
• Here the process is known as lactic acid fermentation.
• In this, 6 carbon atom glucose is getting converted to 3 carbon atom lactic acid.
• Thus reduction in the total number of carbon atoms is occurring, which is a clear indication of the catabolic process.
• Thus lactic acid fermentation is catabolic.
