it's both catabolic and anabolic as there are parts that are taken off (catabolic) and parts added on (anabolic) in the process

Does glycolysis make sugar?

Glycolysis is a catabolic process and it doesn't prepare sugar but breaks down it into simpler materials like CO2


Glycolysis is best defined as a catabolic reaction based upon the?

two pyruvate


Is glycolysis a anabolic or catabolic reaction?

hey glycolysis is both an anabolic and a catabolic reaction, because at first, your are investing energy which is ATP, then you later harvest ATP with pyruvate (3C compound), and NADH. So it is both processes


What is the difference between glycolysis and gluconeogenesis?

Glycolysis is the breakdown of glucose into pyruvate, generating ATP and NADH, while gluconeogenesis is the synthesis of glucose from non-carbohydrate precursors such as amino acids, lactate, or glycerol. Glycolysis is a catabolic process, whereas gluconeogenesis is an anabolic process that occurs mainly in the liver and kidneys to maintain blood glucose levels during fasting or low carbohydrate intake.


Is the Calvin cycle anabolic or catabolic?

Fermentation is usually used to refer to reactions which produce energy without using oxygen. These reactions involve the breakdown of food molecules eg glucose to release energy. Breakdown reactions are called catabolic reactions, so fermentation is catabolic and not anabolic.Fermentation process does not produce any energy molecules, its purpose is to recover NAD's that were used in the Glycolysis to use them again in the next Glycolysis process. All Fermentation processes are the subset of a Catabolic reactions, although, their product do not include the release of energy as the other catabolic reactions do.Also, Fermentation is an Anaerobic Respiration, which happens only in the cells that can not undergo the Aerobic Respiration.


What types of reaction is glycolysis?

Glycolysis is the conversion of glucose into ATP (Adenosine Triphospate) molecules in short. In any case, energy is released.


What are two pathways that might follow glycolysis?

Anabolic and Catabolic Pathways ,Catabolismbreaks down organic matter, for example to harvest energy in Cellular_respiration. Anabolismuses energy to construct components of cells such as Proteinand Nucleic_acid.


What is the metabolic pathways is common to both aerobic and anaerobic processes of sugar breakdown?

The citric acid cycle functions in both the anabolic and catabolic pathways


Is glycolysis an organism?

No, glycolysis is a process that organisms have


Carbon fixation catabolic?

Carbon fixation is not considered a catabolic process. Carbon fixation is an anabolic process because it is associated with building up.


What one of these stages occurs in the cytosol of the cell?

The process is Glycolysis!


Process occurs in cytoplasm?

glycolysis, occurs in the cytoplasm
