Pathways of Glucose Dissimilation in Organisms

The following points highlight the top three pathways of glucose dissimilation in organisms. The pathways are: 1. Embden-Meyerhof Pathway or Glycolysis 2. Pentose Phosphate Cycle (PPC) 3. Entner-Doudoroff Pathway (EDP). Glucose Dissimilation: Pathway # 1. Embden-Meyerhof Pathway or Glycolysis: This catabolic pathway leads to splitting of glucose to two molecules of pyruvic acid i.e. a six- carbon compound is broken [...]
