Lone Rock Beach and Horseshoe Bend in Page, Arizona. After we left Holbrook, we headed over towards Flagstaff, Arizona to stock up on some supplies and do some housekeeping.
Glycolysis involves nine distinct reactions that convert glucose into pyruvate. In this section, we will cover the first four of these reactions, which convert glucose into glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate.
2. Glycolysis oxidizes glucose to pyruvate, producing ATP, reducing power and precursor. metabolites. 3. The pentose phosphate pathway also oxidizes glucose to pyruvate, but its primary. role is the production of precursor metabolites and reducing power essential for. biosynthesis. 4.
