Question

Write a schematic representation of breakdown of glucose pathway

Answer 1

Answer:

1. In the process, glucose undergoes partial oxidation to form two molecules of pyruvic acid.
2. In plants, this glucose is derived from sucrose which concerted into glucose and fructose by the enzyme, invertase and these two monosaccharides readily enter the glycolytic pathway.
3. Glucose and fructose are phosphorylated to give rise to glucose-6-phosphate by the activity of the enzyme hexokinase.
4. This phosphorylated form of glucose then isometries to produce fructose-6-phosphate.
5. A chain of ten reaction, under the control of different enzymes, takes place to produce pyruvate from glucose.
6. Utilisation of ATP during glycolytic

(a) during the conversation of glucose into glucose-6-phosphate.

(b) During the conversation of fructose-6-phosphate to fructose-1, 6-diphosphate.
