Question

what is the process of glycolysis

Answer 1

Hello mate.

Thanks for asking this question.

your answer is =>

The process of Glycolysis is the substrate level oxidation of Organic compound ( mostly Glucose) into Pyrauvate i.e. pyruvic acid.

The glycolysis is the common pathway for substrate level oxidation in both ANAEROBIC and AEROBIC Respiration.

The glycolysis is held in cytoplasm of the cell as the enzymes required for the Glycolysis are present only in cytoplasm.

Now , let's take a view on the steps in the Glycolysis. These are as follows =>


$\boxed{Glucose}$
|
| -- --> ADP
|
| <----ATP
|/
$\boxed{Glucose-6-phosphate}.$
|
|
|
|/
$\boxed{Fructose-6-phosphate}$
|
| --------------> ATP
|
| <-------------- ADP
|/
$\boxed{Fructose-1,6-bisPhosphate}.$
|
|
|
|/
$\boxed{3-phosphoceraldehyde}$

or

$\boxed{Dihydroxyacetone- phosphate}.$
( 2 mols)

|
| $H_3PO_4$
|
|/
$\boxed{1,3- diPGAL}$
( 2 mols)
|
| -----------> $2NAD^{+}$
|
| <---------- $2NADH_2$
|/
$\boxed{1,3-diphosphoglycerate} (1,3-diPGA)$

( 2 mols )
|
| -----------> 2ATP
|
| <------------ 2ADP
|
|/
$\boxed{3-PGA}$

(2 mols)
|
|
|
|
|/
$\boxed{2-PGA}$

(2 mols)
|
|
|. -----------> $H_{2}O$
|
|/
$\boxed{2-phosphoEnolPyruvate}.$

(2 mols)
|
| -------------> 2ATP
|
|
| <------------ 2ADP
|/
$\boxed{pyruvic \:acid}$

(2 mols)

Answer 2

${\huge {\overbrace {\underbrace {\purple { ANSWER }}}}}$

$\green\longrightarrow$ The breakdown of glucose molecule into 2 pyruvic acid molecule is called Glycolysis.

$\green\longrightarrow$ It occurs in cytoplasm of cell.

$\green\longrightarrow$ This is common in aerobic and as well as anaerobic respiration.
