Question

distinguish between
glycolysis and TCA cycle

Answer 1

Answer:

Glycolysis Citric acid cycle

Glycolysis is a linear pathway. The citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle) is a cyclic pathway.

It occurs in the cytoplasm. It occurs in the mitochondria.

It occurs in both aerobic and anaerobic respiration. It occurs in aerobic respiration only.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Glycolys is the breakdown of glucose by enzymes, releasing energy and pyruvic acid.

The citric acid cycle, shown in —also known as the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA cycle) or the Krebs cycle—is a series of chemical reactions used by all aerobic organisms to generate energy through the oxidation of acetate—derived from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins—into carbon dioxide.
