Steps Of Glycolysis EMP Pathways - Biology Blog

                                            Glycolysis Cycle






Glycolysis is a metabolic pathway that occurs in the cytoplasm of the plant cell that converts glucose into pyruvate. This is the ten-step process and in the whole process, energy is released which is used to form high energy compounds like ATP & NADH. This cycle is also known by the EMP Pathway as Embeden, Mayeroff, and Parnas discovered this process. In the whole process, 8 molecules of ATP are formed.

The first step starts with the phosphorylation of glucose, for this Hexokinase enzyme is used. Now after using the enzyme glucose is converted into Glucose 6 Phosphate. In this reaction, ATP molecule is consumed which maintains the transport of glucose molecule into the cell through plasma membrane.

The second step is ,  Glucose 6 Phosphate is rearranged into Fructose 6 Phosphate with the help of enzyme isomerase.

The third step is the phosphorylation of Fructose 6 Phosphate which forms Fructose 1,6 Bi Phosphate with the help of enzyme Phosphofructokinase. There is the hydrolysis of the ATP molecule in this step.

The hexose ring is now split by the enzyme Aldolase into Glyceraldehyde 3 Phosphate. There are two types of aldolase present in nature first in animal cell & plant cell and other in Fungi.

Isomerization takes place and there is a formation of Dihydroxyacetone Phosphate. Now one molecule of carbon is reduced here to make carbohydrate compounds. The remaining five compounds continue in the cycle to make the next compound.

Isomerase regulates the next process convert 1,3 diphosphoglyceraldehyde.

Now the next phase is the payoff phase in which oxidation takes place and inorganic phosphate is added to them which form 1,3 biphosphoglyceric acid. The hydrogen molecules are used to reduce NAD to form NADH.
 Now one phosphate is transferred from 1, 3 Biphosphoglyceric acid, and form 3phosphoglyceric Acid. In this reaction, ADP is converted into ATP.

Mutase enzyme isomerizes this reaction and 2 phosphoglyceric acids are formed.

In the next reaction Enolase enzyme act and form Phosphoenolpyruvate from 2 Phosphoglyceric acids.
Phosphorylation takes place and Pyruvate is formed and the ATP molecule is also used in this reaction.

Sycon Canal System With Diagram

                                     Canal system in Sycon  A sea creature called a sycon, or scypha , is usually found clinging to rocks or other surfaces. These creatures have tube-shaped bodies that open outward with the help of a hole called an Osculum . They have tiny openings called Spiracles and Ostia all over their bodies to let water in. This water flows through canals inside their bodies and comes out through the Osculum, which is a larger opening used for breathing. We'll observe the shape of this canal system, why it is essential for those animals, type of canal system , and  its significance. The Sycon Type Canal system is the unique feature of the phylum Porifera . This system is also known as the  aquiferous canal system . This system supports the significant function of the body like nutrition, respiration, excretion, etc. History Overview -  Gran...

Whittaker's Five Kingdom Classification | Biology Blog

                                   Five Kingdom Classification Early biologists classified all species as either plants or animals. Since this method makes it difficult to research specific creatures, American taxonomist R.H. Whittaker created the five-kingdom classification in 1969. This system divides all organisms into groups based on how they are organized and how they are fed. Important standards for this classification include - The complexity of cell structure i.e. Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic. The complexity of the Organisms body is Unicellular and Multicellular. Mode of nutrition Autotrophs and Heterotrophs. Lifestyle. Phylogenetic Relationship. Based on these criteria, Whittaker classified the living world into the following categories  - Kingdom Monera                 Kingdom Protista Kingdom Fungi Kingdom Animalia Ki...

Aurelia Aurita Life Cycle: Characterstics, Classification

                                             Aurelia  Aurelia aurita is a type of zooplankton found all over the world. They are see-through and don't have eyes, brains, or hearts. They're usually between 2 to 15 inches wide. Even though they prefer being alone, they get carried together in groups called Blooms by wind and water currents. At night, they look like they're moving through the water like jellyfish, which is why they're sometimes called " jellyfish ".  They have four reproductive organs surrounded by tentacles in their top part. Their body color changes based on what they eat, so they can be blue, pink, or other colors. Let's learn more about Aurelia in detail. Details Of Aurelia Diagram -  Body : The center of the diagram would display the jellyfish's bell-shaped body, often called the " umbrella. " Tentacles : Below the bell, you'd see lon...
