WHAT IS GLYCOLYSIS? EXPLAIN IN BRIEF WITH SUITABLE FIGURE. ​

Biology
1 answer:
NARA [144]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway (process) that converts one molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate. In the process the pathway forms two molecules of ATP and one molecule of NADH from two molecules of ADP and phosphate and one molecule of NADH.

The importance of glycolysis is that it provides the cell with a small amount of readily accessible energy in the form of ATP and it provides the mitochondria with a source of pyruvate. There, the pyruvate can be completely oxidized to CO2 and H2O and form a large amount (~28 molecules) of ATP from ADP and phosphate. More importantly, it provides red blood cells with there only source of ATP (since they have no mitochondria).

Answer:

Explanation:

Proteins are polymers of amino acids. 20 different amino acids are present in various combinations in different proteins. Humans are incapable of synthesizing some amino acids. These are called the essential amino acids as they must be provided in the diet.

Histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine are the nine amino acids that are not synthesized in the body of adult humans and therefore, are categorized as essential ones. Arginine is a non-essential amino acid for adult humans but is essential for adult humans. Therefore, for an infant, more than 9 amino acids are essential ones.
