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)
Key difference: Aerobic Glycolysis is the metabolism of glucose, whereas, Aerobic Lipolysis is the metabolism of fat. (imingo.net)
Glucose (Glc), a monosaccharide (or simple sugar ), is an important carbohydrate in biology . (wikidoc.org)
Glucose is one of the main products of photosynthesis and starts cellular respiration in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes . (wikidoc.org)
The mirror-image of the molecule, L -glucose, cannot be metabolized by cells in the biochemical process known as glycolysis . (wikidoc.org)
Phosphate4
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)
Finally the PPP can also be used to produce glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate which can then be fed into the TCA and ETC cycles allowing for the harvest of energy. (imingo.net)
In the sixth step of the glycolytic pathway, the first step of the second phase, the payoff phase, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.12) catalyses the oxidation of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate to 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate (1,3-BPG), with the concomitant reduction of NAD + to NADH.

Sugars4
Glycolysis, which translates to "splitting sugars", is the process of releasing energy within sugars. (imingo.net)
Lipolysis is the metabolic process through which triacylglycerols (TAGs) break down via hydrolysis into their constituent molecules: glycerol and free fatty acids (FFAs). (imingo.net)
SCIRP: Food and Nutrition Sciences, Vol. In this process, both in vivoand in cultur… This binding will likewise lead to the cAMP/PKA-led phosphorylation of hormone sensitive lipase, that will ultimately drive the release of free fatty acids and glycerol. (imingo.net)
Lipolysis /lɪˈpɒlɪsɪs/ is the metabolic pathway through which lipid triglycerides are hydrolyzed into a glycerol and three fatty acids. (imingo.net)
To obtain energy from fat, triglycerides must first be broken down by hydrolysis into their two principal components, fatty acids and glycerol. (imingo.net)
In the absence of oxygen, known as anaerobic respiration, the process starts similarly with glycolysis. (microbiologynote.com)
Aerobic respiration1
Cells performing aerobic respiration synthesize much more ATP, but not as part of glycolysis. (wikipedia.org)
Molecules4
These processes require energy to synthesize complex molecules necessary for cellular growth, maintenance, and functioning. (microbiologynote.com)
Through a series of interconnected metabolic pathways, the potential energy stored in the chemical bonds of these molecules is harnessed and transferred to energy carriers, which power other essential cellular processes. (microbiologynote.com)
Enzymes and other proteins use ATP to power reactions, maintain ion gradients across membranes, contract muscle fibers, and transport molecules across cellular membranes. (microbiologynote.com)
Cellular respiration processes break down these stored molecules to produce ATP when needed. (microbiologynote.com)
Pyruvate2
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)

Enzymes1
Glycolysis is a sequence of ten reactions catalyzed by enzymes. (wikipedia.org)
Oxygen1
Cellular respiration can occur in the presence or absence of oxygen. (microbiologynote.com)
Cellular respiration is a vital metabolic process that occurs within cells, enabling the conversion of energy stored in carbohydrates into energy carriers, most notably adenosine triphosphate (ATP). (microbiologynote.com)
The energy released during cellular respiration, in the form of ATP and other energy carriers, fuels various anabolic processes within the cell . (microbiologynote.com)
Cellular respiration is the metabolic process by which cells convert carbohydrates into energy in the form of ATP. (microbiologynote.com)
The primary purpose of cellular respiration is to generate energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to power essential cellular processes. (microbiologynote.com)

Glycolysis also refers to other pathways, such as the Entner-Doudoroff pathway and various heterofermentative and homofermentative pathways. (wikipedia.org)
Reactions2
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)
