In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Meaning of Pentose Phosphate Pathway (PPP) 2. Reactions of Pentose Phosphate Pathway (PPP) 3. Significance. Meaning of Pentose Phosphate Pathway (PPP): Major pathway for aerobic respiration of glucose is through glycolysis and Krebs cycle, however, an alternate pathway exists in many organisms. This pathway, which requires the presence of oxygen, is called [...]
The upcoming discussion will update you about the difference between cyclic photophosphorylation and non-cyclic photophosphorylation. Difference # Cyclic Photophosphorylation: 1. It is found dominantly in bacteria. 2. It involves photosystem I only. 3. Electrons move in a closed circle. Electron expelled from chlorophyll (P700) returns to it after passing through a series of electron accepÂtors in an ETS. 4. It [...]
