PATHWAYS Watch this video on aerobic glycolysis: http://ow.ly/G5djv Watch this video on oxygen use: http://ow.ly/G5dmh Energy System 1 – The Aerobic Use of Glucose (Glycolysis) This energy system involves the breakdown of glucose (carbohydrate) to release energy in the presence of oxygen. The key to this energy system is that it uses OXYGEN to supply energy. Just like the anaerobic systems, there are many negatives and positives from using this pathway. Diagram 33 below summarises the key features of this energy system. When reading the details on the table keep in mind the differences between this and the previous systems that were looked at. In this way a perspective of their features can be appreciated and applied.

  • Glycolysis and Gluconeogenesis
    CC7_Unit 2.3 Glycolysis and Gluconeogenesis Glucose occupies a central position in the metabolism of plants, animals and many microorganisms. In animals, glucose has four major fates as shown in figure 1. The organisms that do not have access to glucose from other sources must make it. Plants make glucose by photosynthesis. Non-photosynthetic cells make glucose from 3 and 4 carbon precursors by the process of gluconeogenesis. Glycolysis is the process of enzymatic break down of one molecule of glucose (6 carbon) into two pyruvate molecules (3 carbon) with the concomitant net production of two molecules of ATP. The complete glycolytic pathway was elucidated by 1940, largely through the pioneering cotributions of Gustav Embden, Otto Meyerhof, Carl Neuberg, Jcob Parnad, Otto Wrburg, Gerty Cori and Carl Cori. Glycolysis is also known as Embden-Meyerhof pathway. • Glycolysis is an almost universal central pathway of glucose catabolism. • Glycolysis is anaerobic process. During glycolysis some of the free energy is released and conserved in the form of ATP and NADH. • Anaerobic microorganisms are entirely dependent on glycolysis. • In most of the organisms, the pyruvate formed by glycolysis is further metabolised via one of the three catabolic routes. 1) Under aerobic conditions, glucose is oxidized all the way to C02 and H2O. 2) Under anaerobic conditions, the pyruvic acid can be fermented to lactic acid or to 3) ethanol plus CO2 as shown in figure 2. • Glycolytic breakdown of glucose is the sole source of metabolic energy in some mammalian tissues and cells (RBCs, Brain, Renal medulla and Sperm cell). Glycolysis occurs in TEN steps.
