|
|
Anerobes do not initiate respiration with Glycolysis
|
|
|
It occurs in Mitochondria
|
|
|
It was first described by Embden, Meyerhof and Parnas
|
|
|
One molecule of glucose is broken down into 2 molecules of Lactic acid
|
Detailed explanation-1: -It is named after the three scientists Gustav Embden, Otto Meyerhof, and J. Parnas, who gave the scheme of glycolysis. It is the pathway of glucose catabolism. It occurs in the cytoplasm of all living cells, aerobic as well as anaerobic.
Detailed explanation-2: -So looking back at our answer choices, we can see that the correct option is (D). In the first major reaction of glycolysis, a glucose molecule is converted to phosphorylated fructose by the addition of two phosphate molecules, catalyzed by the hydrolysis of ATP.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas pathway is the most common and well-known type of sugar degradation. It makes use of glucose, which is converted to a series of intermediated and ultimately to pyruvate. It is comprised of two phases: (1) the energy-investment phase and (2) the energy-payoff phase.
