Organic Chemistry of Metabolic Pathways
Metabolic pathways allude to the arrangement of chemical catalyzed reactions that lead to the transformation of a substance into the final product. Metabolic pathways incorporate a progression of reaction where the substrate is changed continuously and t…
Glucogenesis
Glucogenesis is a metabolic pathway in which glucose is produced from carbon substrates that are not carbohydrates. This process is observed in plants, animals, fungi, bacteria and other micro organisms. The general  definition for glucogenesis or glucon…

Chapter 27, Problem 61P
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.
