Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Glucose is the absorbed form of carbohydrates into the blood and then enters into all living cells that are oxidized to form energy in all cells. Glycolysis is the first step in carbohydrate metabolism. Anaerobic respiration provides lactate from the pyruvate molecules in the absence of oxygen. It provides energy to all cells except the erythrocytes and brain in lack of oxygen, and it also helps in the utilization of NADH molecule and formation of NAD+ molecules for glycolysis.
