Summary Introduction

To Review:

Difference between oxidative and glycolytic catabolism.

Introduction:

Catabolism is a chemical reaction in which large molecules arebroken down into smaller ones and a large amount of energy is produced in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). On the basis of oxygen availability, two types of catabolism take place in the cells. One is oxidative and the other is glycolytic catabolism.
