describe various paths of glucose breakdown in organism
Answers
The pathway chosen varies from organism to organism for breaking down glucose into energy and water. The end product depends upon the presence of oxygen during the process of breakdown. These are the three pathways of breakdown in living organisms.

hey mate!
breaking down of glucose can occur by various Pathways;
1- in presence of oxygen:
-breaking down of glucose into pyruvate takes place in mitochondria of a cell.
-end products are CO2 and H2O and energy.
2- In insufficient presence of oxygen:
-in muscle cells due to insufficient presence of oxygen the cells undergoes anaerobic respiration.
-end products are lactic acid and lot amount of energy.
3- In absence of oxygen:
-in absence of oxygen, glucose breakdown into pyruvate in cytoplasm only.
-end product are ethanol and small amount of energy.
