Lipids are a heterogeneous group of organic compounds that are insoluble in water and soluble in non-polar organic solvents. They naturally occur in most plants, animals, microorganisms and are used … Read more
Bacteria are classified and identified to distinguish one organism from another and to group similar organisms by criteria of interest to microbiologists or other scientists. The classification of bacteria serves a variety of … Read more
Carbohydrates are a group of naturally occurring carbonyl compounds (aldehydes or ketones) that also contain several hydroxyl groups. It may also include their derivatives which produce such compounds on hydrolysis. … Read more
Some of the differences between bacteria and virus are as follows: S.N. Character Bacteria Virus 1. Cell type Prokaryotic cells Acellular 2. Number of cells Single-celled No cell 3. Size … Read more
Location of Fructose Metabolism The Pathway of Fructose Metabolism There are two pathways for the metabolism of fructose; one occurs in muscle and adipose tissue, the other in liver. Results: Generates … Read more
Gluconeogenesis is the production of glucose from non-sugar precursors. Gluconeogenesis, mainly occurs in the liver, and involves the synthesis of glucose from compounds that are not carbohydrates. Location of Gluconeogenesis … Read more
The pentose phosphate pathway is a metabolic pathway parallel to glycolysis which generates NADPH and pentoses (5-carbon sugars) as well as ribose 5-phosphate. The pentose phosphate pathway is also called as the phosphogluconate pathway or hexose monophosphate shunt. While it involves oxidation of glucose, its primary role … Read more
