All pathway for oxidation glucose

There are different pathways for glucose oxidation, which depend on the availability of oxygen and the presence or absence of mitochondria.

1- Glycolysis (Embden-Meyerhof pathway)

The main pathway for glucose metabolism is glycolysis, a series of ten reactions that convert one glucose molecule into two pyruvate molecules.

2- The pentose phosphate pathway (HEXOSE MONOPHOSPHATE SHUNT)

3-The Entner-Doudoroff pathway

4-fermentation

Fermentation is an alternative pathway for glucose oxidation that occurs when glycolysis is hindered or incomplete due to factors such as oxygen deficiency. Fermentation can be categorized into two types: alcoholic fermentation and lactic acid fermentation.
