Glycolysis is a near-universal pathway for glucose catabolism and the generation of metabolic energy in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells under aerobic and anaerobic conditions”. Discuss all of the following aspects of the Embden-MeyerhofParnas or glycolytic pathway: Q 1(a) [14 ⅓ Marks] Identify and describe each of the enzyme-catalysed reactions associated with both the preparatory and payoff phases. Would you describe ATP production in the payoff phase of glycolysis as substrate level phosphorylation or oxidative phosphorylation? Explain your answer. Q 1(b) [10 Marks] Compare and contrast the anaerobic respiration of pyruvate in yeast cells with that of skeletal muscle and bacteria. In your answer, outline the key enzyme-catalysed reactions and the significance of the products formed in all cell types. Q 1(c) [9 Marks] Briefly, distinguish between the Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas and Entner-Doudoroff pathways.
