Definition of glycolysis in English:
glycolysis
noun ɡlʌɪˈkɒlɪsɪsɡlaɪˈkɑləsəs
mass nounBiochemistry The breakdown of glucose by enzymes, releasing energy and pyruvic acid.
Example sentencesExamples
- Many of these proteins are enzymes that participate in glycolysis and alcoholic fermentation or in other aspects of carbohydrate metabolism.
- The cells depend on glycolysis for their main energy requirements and also require supplementation with uridine and pyruvate for growth.
- The oxidation of one molecule of glucose via glycolysis and cell respiration releases enough energy to form 38 ATP molecules.
- Enzymes primarily involved in glycolysis and in the Krebs cycle showed only a small rise in activity (PFP, PFK and malate dehydrogenase).
- There is clear evidence of metabolite channeling in the urea cycle, the citrate cycle, glycolysis, and other metabolic pathways.
Derivatives
adjective ˌɡlʌɪkəˈlɪtɪk
Biochemistry However, the activity of hexokinase in muscle is so high that any free glucose is immediately phosphorylated and enters the glycolytic pathway.
Example sentencesExamples
- We report that there is substantial although not complete control of glycolytic oscillations in hexose transport, so that phosphofructokinase cannot be the oscillophore.
- The nucleotide feedback causes the glycolytic variables to exhibit small-amplitude oscillations.
- In addition, phosphatases specific for the phosphorylated forms of the glycolytic enzymes increase in activity under the influence of insulin.
- The changes in the enzymatic activity of glycolytic enzymes when they form complexes were shown experimentally.
