Question

Explain Glycolysis in details ?

Answer 1

Glycolysis is the first major process of respiration in animals/plants(cells) it occurs in cytoplasm

In this process glucose is converted into lactic acid in animals / ethanol in plants

This step not involve oxygen

2 ATP energy is released

Next step is Krebs cycle, which completely oxidizes the product and release CO2 and energy

Answer 2

Answer:

1. Glycolysis is the first step of aerobic and anaerobic respiration and occur in the cytoplasm of the cell.
2. In this process, a molecule of glucose is oxidised in a stepwise manner to form two molecules each of pyruvic acid, ATP, NADH2 and water
3. Pyruvic acid formed during this process is converted into acetyl coenzyme A with the release of two molecules each of NADH2 and CO2. This acetyl coenzyme A then the enters the Krebs cycle

Hope you understood mate!!
