Understanding Glycolysis: The Initial Step in Glucose Breakdown
Glycolysis, presented by Dr. Madhu Kumari Gupta, is a crucial process in cellular metabolism that involves the breakdown of glucose to extract energy. This pathway occurs in the cytosol and consists of three main phases - an energy-requiring phase, a splitting phase, and an energy-releasing phase. T

Gluconeogenesis: Pyruvate to Phosphoenolpyruvate Conversion in Carbohydrate Metabolism
Gluconeogenesis is a crucial pathway where pyruvate is converted to phosphoenolpyruvate through multiple steps involving enzymes like pyruvate carboxylase and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase. This process occurs in the mitochondria and cytosol, requiring coenzymes like biotin and GTP. Alternate pa
