Chapter 25, Problem 6CP

Summary Introduction

To review:

The overall scenario in glycolysis.

Introduction:

Every living organism requires energy to maintain the vital functions of the body. The carbohydrates, polysaccharides, and disaccharides that we take in are actually broken down into glucose, the most preferred energy source for the body. Glucose is converted to pyruvate aerobically with the release of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) by a process called glycolysis.
