In this article we will discuss about oxidation-reduction reactions in living organisms. In biological systems energy is generally released from oxidation-reduction reactions of organic compounds catalysed by enzymes. It is, therefore, necessary to understand clearly the nature of oxidation-reduction reactions occurring in living systems. The most common organic compound used as substrate for energy production […]

Pathways of Glucose Dissimilation in Organisms
Article Shared by
The following points highlight the top three pathways of glucose dissimilation in organisms. The pathways are: 1. Embden-Meyerhof Pathway or Glycolysis 2. Pentose Phosphate Cycle (PPC) 3. Entner-Doudoroff Pathway (EDP). Glucose Dissimilation: Pathway # 1. Embden-Meyerhof Pathway or Glycolysis: This catabolic pathway leads to splitting of glucose to two molecules of pyruvic acid i.e. a […]
Hydrocarbon Metabolism in Organisms | Microbiology

The below mentioned article provides notes on hydrocarbon metabolism in organisms. Hydrocarbons are organic compounds containing carbon and hydrogen. The simplest hydrocarbon is methane (CH4). A host of bacteria can also use other hydrocarbons like alkanes, alkenes, cyclic and aromatic compounds. Alkanes are linear saturated hydrocarbons having the general formula CH3-(CH2)n-CH3, while alkenes are unsaturated […]
