Krebs Cycle – Cellular Respiration (Part – IV)

By | October 27, 2021

The fate of pyruvic acid formed at the end of Glycolysis depends on the need of the cell and also on availability of oxygen. Organisms which grow in absence of oxygen – In anaerobic organisms, fermentation takes place after glycolysis. In presence of oxygen, aerobic respiration takes place where pyruvic acid from glycolysis enter Krebs’s… Read More »

Glycolysis – Cellular Respiration (Part II)

By | October 17, 2021

The breakdown of glucose to pyruvic acid in a multi step manner is called as Glycolysis. It takes place in cytoplasm of the cell. It is common pathway to both Anaerobic and Aerobic respiration. The Glycolysis pathway is a very ancient pathway present in majority of organisms from every branch of the bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes. This… Read More »
