| Description: The gold arrows show the glycolytic pathway and the breakdown of polysaccharides that supply this pathway. Glycolysis generates ATP anaerobically and provides fuel for the aerobic energy-generating pathways. The green arrows show the gluconeogenesis pathway, the synthesis of polysaccharides such as glycogen. The blue arrow shows the pentose phosphate pathway, an alternative carbohydrate oxidation pathway needed for nucleotide synthesis. The numbers 1, 2, and 3 identify the three stages of metabolism Picture Stats: Views: 332 Filesize: 180.92kB Height: 763 Width: 510 Source: https://biology-forums.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=34501 |
