Question

Glycolysis, Write Definition and explain it.

Answer 1

HERE IS YOUR ANSWER.....

Glucose is the enzymatic breakdown of a carbohydrate (such as glucose) by way of phosphate derivatives with the production of pyruvic or lactic acid and energy stored in high-energy phosphate bonds of ATP.

Answer 2

Dear Student,

◆ Glycolysis -

• Glycolysis is the first step in the breakdown of glucose to extract energy for cellular metabolism.
• Glycolysis converts glucose into pyruvate in 10 steps.
• Glycolysis is an anaerobic process & takes place in cytoplasm itself.
• Glucose, fructose or other sugars are involved as reactants in this process.
• Products formed are 2 pyruvate, 2 NADH & 2 ATP.

# Three major stages of glycolysis -

(1) Investment phase -

• Glucose is converted to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate.
• Glucose is trapped inside cell and converted to unstable form.

(2) Cleavage phase -

• Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate is cleaved 2 molecules of glycerladehyde-3-phosphate.

(3) Harvesting phase -

• Glycerladehyde-3-phosphate is converted to puruvate.
• ATPs are generated.

Thanks dear. Hope this helps you..
