Plants have alternate ways of getting respiratory substrates to the point of triose-phosphate of glycolysis.  After that, plants have alternative steps during the carbon oxidation phase of glycolysis that affect whether or not ATP is synthesized during glycolysis.  What are these various alternatives before and after triose-phosphate?  Why are they used?  How do they affect the ATP use and yield from glycolysis?

Photosynthesis

Plants have a capacity that we humans can only imagine— the ability to produce food from sunlight. Sure, we can prepare some dishes that we can savor on, but it become possible because of the plants (as they serve as a producers of all the raw materials required). Photosynthesis is the method of assembling carbohydrates with the aid of sunlight.
