The following points highlight the five major pathways in organisms. The pathways are: 1. Glycolysis 2. Pentose Phosphate Pathway 3. Entner-Doudoroff Pathway 4. Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle 5. Glyoxylate Cycle. Metabolic Pathway # 1. Glycolysis: Glycolysis (glyco-sugar of sweet, lysis-breakdown) is the initial phase of metabolism during which the organic molecule glucose and other sugar are partially oxidized to smaller molecules [...]
The following points highlight the three main metabolic pathways to break glucose into pyruvate. The pathways are: 1. Glycolysis 2. Pentose Phosphate Pathway or Hexose Monophosphate Pathway 3. Entner-Doudoroff Pathway. Metabolic Pathway # 1. Glycolysis: Glycolysis (Gk. glykys = sweet, lysis = splitting), also called glycolytic pathway or Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas (EMP) pathway, is the sequence of reactions that metabolises one molecule [...]
The following points highlight the three main metabolic pathways for intermediary metabolism. The metabolic pathways are: 1. Carbohydrate Metabolism 2. Lipid Metabolism 3. Amino Acid Metabolism. Metabolic Pathway # 1. Carbohydrate Metabolism: a. Pyruvate and lactate are formed in the mammalian cells as a result of the oxidation of glucose by glycolysis. b. Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of cells [...]
