Sketch the break down of glucose by various pathways.

1.	Sketch the break down of glucose by various pathways.
Answer» In aerobic respirationGlucose. + Pyruvate - water + carbon dioxide + 38 atpIn anaerobic respirationGlucose _glycolysis(in cytoplasm ) pyruvate - C2H5OH +co2 + 2 atpIn aerobic respiration 1 molecule of glucose is breakdown in pyruvic acid 2 molecules by glycolysis ( in cytoplasm) then a lot of energy is released with CO2 and H2O. Energy is stored in mitochondria of the cell whereas in anaerobic respiration 1 molecule of glucose is breakdown into pyruvate 2 molecules in absence of O2 ( muscle tissue) or yeast ( an organism) gives ethanol Co2 and atp.In muscles lactic acid is formed which causes cramps.It is stored in muscle tissues in human body
