Incomplete oxidation of glucose into pyruvic acid with several intermediate steps is known as
A. TCA-pathway
B. Glycolysis
C. HMS-pathway
D. Krebs cycle
Answer: Option B
Solution(By Examveda Team)
The incomplete oxidation of glucose into pyruvic acid with several intermediate steps is known as Glycolysis.Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that converts glucose (C6H12O6) into pyruvate (CH3COCO2H). It does not require oxygen (In anaerobic conditions pyruvate is converted to lactic acid).
The free energy released in this process is used to form the high-energy molecules adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH). Glycolysis is a sequence of ten reactions catalyzed by enzymes.
