Glycolysis :- It is sequence of reaction converting glucose into lactose and pyruvate with the production of ATP
- It is also know as EMBDEN MEYENHOFF Pathway.
- It takes place in cell of body.
- The enzyme are present in cytosomal fraction.
- It occurs in presence of oxygen (aerobic) and absence of oxygen (anaerobic).
- Lactate is end product of anaerobic pathway.
- Pyruvate is end product of aerobic pathway forming CO2 and H2O.
- It is major pathway for synthesis of ATP.
- It is essential for brain.
Reaction :- Glucose+2ADP+2Pi = 2Lactase+2APP
Significance :-
- It is formed by active skeletal muscle major precursor for gluconeogenesis
- Lactate is dead end in glycolysis
- It is carried from skeletal muscle through blood and handed over to liver , where it is oxidized to Pyruvate
