MECHANISM OF RESPIRATION
Glycolysis or EMP pathway- The process starts with glucose.In anaerobic respiration initial reactions are common as a result of which pyruvic acid is formed by breakdown of glucose. This process does not require oxygen.
TCA cycle or Krebs cycle- After glycolysis if oxygen is present there is a complete oxidation of pyruvic acid into water and carbon dye oxide. This process called Krebs cycle.
Anaerobic respiration- If oxygen is absent, pyruvic acid form ethyl alcohol and carbon dye oxide.
Aerobic respiration consists of three steps- Glycolysis
Krebs cycle
Terminal oxidation
In this article I am describing the first step-
Glycolysis.
Glycolysis is given by Embden, Meyerhof and Parnas so it also called EMP Pathway. Glycolysis is a process of breakdown of glucose or similar hexose sugar to molecules of pyruvic acid through a series of enzyme mediated releasing some energy and reducing power.It take place in cytoplasm.
Glycolysis held in 10 steps.
Important points of this pathway is-
1.Function of kinase enzyme is add phosphate molecule.

Important points of this pathway is-
1.Function of kinase enzyme is add phosphate molecule.
2.In glycolysis ATP release at 2 places.
These are-
(a)1,3 Biphosphpglycerte to 3 phosphoglycerate
These are-
(a)1,3 Biphosphpglycerte to 3 phosphoglycerate
(b) phosphoenolpyruvate to pyruvate
3.One NADH release in this step-glycerleldehyde 3 phosphate to 3 phosphoglycerate.
4. Di hydroxy acetone phosphate also changed in glycereldehyde 3 phosphate so 2 molecules of glycereldehyde take part in one glycolysis cycle.
5.Total 4 ATP molecules release in one cycle and 2 molecule of NADH.
TOTAL ENERGY PRODUCTION IN GLYCOLYSIS-
Direct ATP molecules-2x2= 4 ATP
By NADH molecules- 2x3= 6 ATP
Total ATP molecules-4+6= 10 ATP
Used ATP in one cycle- 2 ATP
FINALLY GOT ATP MOLECULES- 10 ATP-2 ATP
= 8 ATP
NOTE-one NADH = 3 ATP.
According to new rules 1 NADH= 2.5 ATP
So if you do calculation according to new rules it is also correct.
