Question
Chapter 28, Problem 28.65P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
To explain why glycolysis is considered an oxidative pathway even though only one reaction is an oxidation reaction.
Concept introduction:
Cells such as R.B.Cs lack mitochondria so they depend on glycolysis to generate ATP. However, cells with mitochondria use glycolysis as a preparatory pathway for the complete oxidation of glucose to carbon dioxide.
