|
|
|
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: -Glycolysis, or the Embden-Meyerhof pathway, is one of the most common fermentative pathways (see Fig. 2). In this pathway, the exogenous electron donor, most commonly glucose, is oxidized to pyruvate (and H+) via three main enzymatic stages.
Detailed explanation-2: -(i) In aerobic respiration, glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of a cell. (ii) In aerobic respiration, glycolysis cannot occur without the presence of oxygen. (iii) In the process of glycolysis, glucose molecules are oxidised to produce the molecules of pyruvate.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
