Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that converts glucose (C6H12O6) into pyruvate, and in most organisms, occurs in the liquid part of cells, the cytosol. (wikipedia.org)
Eukaryotic aerobic respiration produces approximately 34 additional molecules of ATP for each glucose molecule, however most of these are produced by a mechanism vastly different from the substrate-level phosphorylation in glycolysis. (wikipedia.org)
The lower-energy production, per glucose, of anaerobic respiration relative to aerobic respiration, results in greater flux through the pathway under hypoxic (low-oxygen) conditions, unless alternative sources of anaerobically oxidizable substrates, such as fatty acids, are found. (wikipedia.org)
His experiments showed that fermentation occurs by the action of living microorganisms, yeasts, and that yeast's glucose consumption decreased under aerobic conditions of fermentation, in comparison to anaerobic conditions (the Pasteur effect). (wikipedia.org)
The mirror-image of the molecule, L -glucose, cannot be metabolized by cells in the biochemical process known as glycolysis . (wikidoc.org)
As the ring contains five carbon atoms and one oxygen atom, which resembles the structure of pyran , the cyclic form of glucose is also referred to as glucopyranose. (wikidoc.org)
Indeed, the reactions that make up glycolysis and its parallel pathway, the pentose phosphate pathway, can occur in the oxygen-free conditions of the Archean oceans, also in the absence of enzymes, catalyzed by metal ions, meaning this is a plausible prebiotic pathway for abiogenesis. (wikipedia.org)
Atom balance is maintained by the two phosphate (Pi) groups: Each exists in the form of a hydrogen phosphate anion ([HPO4]2−), dissociating to contribute 2H+ overall Each liberates an oxygen atom when it binds to an adenosine diphosphate (ADP) molecule, contributing 2 O overall Charges are balanced by the difference between ADP and ATP.

Co-expression of additional EMP enzymes, fructose bisphosphate aldolase (Fba) and triose phosphate isomerase (Tpi), with Pfk I did not enable EMP flux, and resulted in production of glycerol as a side product. (frontiersin.org)
We now demonstrate that this enzyme can also phosphorylate sedoheptulose-7-phosphate (an intermediate in the pentose phosphate pathway), with the V max and K m of F6P being approximately 15 folds higher and 43 folds lower, respectively, in comparison to sedoheptulose-7-phosphate. (biomedcentral.com)
These findings along with previous proteomic data suggest that Pfp, plays a role in both glycolysis and the pentose phosphate pathway, while PfkA and PfkB may phosphorylate sugars in glycolysis but is responsible for sugar metabolism elsewhere under conditions outside of growth on sufficient cellobiose.

Pathways4
Glycolysis also refers to other pathways, such as the Entner-Doudoroff pathway and various heterofermentative and homofermentative pathways. (wikipedia.org)
However, instead of proceeding through the remaining aerobic pathways, anaerobic respiration ends with the conversion of pyruvate into other compounds, such as lactate or ethanol. (microbiologynote.com)
NADH2
These further aerobic reactions use pyruvate, and NADH + H+ from glycolysis. (wikipedia.org)
This allows the recycling of the electron carriers (NADH) back into their oxidized forms (NAD+), enabling glycolysis to continue. (microbiologynote.com)
Rounding out the upper glycolysis pathway, the identity of the fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase in the genome was verified and reported to have substantial activity with fructose-1,6-bisphosphate, in the presence of the divalent ion, Zn 2+ . (biomedcentral.com)
Eukaryotic1
Oxygen is essential for the electron transport chain, which occurs in the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells. (microbiologynote.com)
Reactions3
Glycolysis is a sequence of ten reactions catalyzed by enzymes. (wikipedia.org)
The citric acid cycle (also known as the tricarboxylic acid cycle , the TCA cycle, or the Krebs cycle ) is a series of chemical reactions of central importance in all living cells that utilize oxygen as part of cellular respiration . (citizendium.org)
Reactions that form intermediates of the cycle are called anaplerotic reactions . (citizendium.org)
The wide occurrence of glycolysis in other species indicates that it is an ancient metabolic pathway. (wikipedia.org)
The living cell uses it as a source of energy and metabolic intermediate. (wikidoc.org)
Citric acid2
[1] In aerobic organisms , the citric acid cycle is involved in the chemical conversion of carbohydrates , fats and proteins into carbon dioxide and water to generate a form of usable energy. (citizendium.org)
Cells performing aerobic respiration synthesize much more ATP, but not as part of glycolysis. (wikipedia.org)
Pasteur1
French scientist Louis Pasteur researched this issue during the 1850s, and the results of his experiments began the long road to elucidating the pathway of glycolysis. (wikipedia.org)
Production3
explored the possibility that the ED pathway limits ATP production and growth in Z. mobilis by attempting to complete an EMP glycolysis pathway. (frontiersin.org)
In aerobic respiration, oxygen serves as the final electron acceptor, enabling the efficient production of ATP. (microbiologynote.com)
production of (4S,6S)-5,6-dihydro-4-hydroxy-6-methyl-4H-thieno[2,3b]thiopyran-7,7dioxide, which is an intermediate in the synthesis of the carbonic anhydrase inhibitor trusopt. (brenda-enzymes.info)
Step1
This final step produces a large amount of ATP through the utilization of oxygen. (microbiologynote.com)

Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that converts glucose (C6H12O6) into pyruvate, and in most organisms, occurs in the liquid part of cells, the cytosol. (wikipedia.org)
These further aerobic reactions use pyruvate, and NADH + H+ from glycolysis. (wikipedia.org)
Pyruvate replaced acetate as the major excreted product, and the following intermediates of glycolysis were excreted in significant amounts: glucose-6-phosphate, fructose-1 ,6-diphos- phate, dihydroxyacetone phosphate, and 3-phosphoglycerate. (nih.gov)
