Cellular Energy Metabolism: Atp Production Pathways
ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is an essential molecule responsible for energy transfer within cells. Among the primary processes involved in ATP production, glycolysis, oxidative phosphorylation, the citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle), and beta-oxidation are key contributors to cellular energy metabolism. Glycolysis initiates the breakdown of glucose in the cytoplasm, yielding a small amount of ATP. Oxidative … Read more
