Document Summary

In glycolysis you have a release of free energy as you oxidize glucose. The endergonic part of glycolysis is the synthesis of atp. Glycolysis is a mechanism that we use to derive free energy from glucose. Its purpose is to capture some of the free energy from glycolysis. There are many different ways to split molecules like glucose. This glycolytic pathway is often referred to as emp pathway. The glycolysis is just one of many different glycolytic pathway. Most eukaryotes if not all use the emp pathway to do glycolysis. Glycolysis is done without oxygen, pyruvate produced from glycolysis will get further oxidized if oxygen is available. When oxygen isn"t available the pyruvate gets fermented. Glycolysis is an antient pathway, all of the enzymes of glycolysis are found in the cytosol, before the organelles were formed. It may have been the first bioenergetic pathway that may have evolved.
