|
|
breaks down ATP into starch or glucose
|
|
|
takes in energy by eating food
|
|
|
breaks down into CO2 and oxygen
|
|
|
breaks dwn glucose into pyruvates
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Glycolysis is the process by which glucose is broken down within the cytoplasm of a cell to form pyruvate. Under aerobic conditions, pyruvate can diffuse into mitochondria, where it enters the citric acid cycle and generates reducing equivalents in the form of NADH and FADH2.
Detailed explanation-2: -A process in which glucose (sugar) is partially broken down by cells in enzyme reactions that do not need oxygen. Glycolysis is one method that cells use to produce energy.
Detailed explanation-3: -Glycolysis is the breakdown of glucose to pyruvic acid.
