Glycolysis is the ‘process of breakdown’ to glucose to two molecules of pyruvate. It is the first step to extract energy. It occurs in the cytoplasm of ‘plant and animal’ cells and that of micro-organisms.
Explanation
It can be divided into the following steps:
- i) Energy dependent: Glucose is converted to glucose-6-phosphate which is then converted to fructose-6-phosphate. This is then converted to ‘fructose-1,6-phosphate’ in the presence of phosphofructokinase. ‘Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate’ is then converted to ‘dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP)’ and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate.
- ii) Energy releasing: “Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate” is converted to “1,3-bisphosphoglycerate” which then forms 3-phosphoglycerate and releases a molecule of ATP. This gets converted to 2-phosphoglycerate which then forms Phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP). PEP converts to pyruvate and releases the second ‘ATP molecule’.
