The 2 in front of the oxygen gas and the 2 in front of the water vapor are called the reaction coefficients. They indicate the number of each chemical species that reacts or is formed. Methane and oxygen (oxygen is a diatomic â two-atom â element) are the reactants, while carbon dioxide and water are the products.
Pyrophosphatase (or inorganic pyrophosphatase) is an enzyme (EC 3.6.1.1) that catalyzes the conversion of one molecule of pyrophosphate to two phosphate ions.he functionality of this enzyme plays a critical role in lipid metabolism (including lipid synthesis and degradation), calcium absorption and bone formation, and DNA synthesis, as well as other biochemical transformations.
â¢ The Glycolytic pathway describes the oxidation of glucose. to pyruvate with the generation of ATP and NADH. â¢ It is also called as the Embden-Meyerhof Pathway. â¢ Glycolysis is a universal pathway; present in all organisms: from yeast to mammals. â¢ In eukaryotes, glycolysis takes place in the cytosol. â¢ Glycolysis is anaerobic; it does not require oxygen. â¢ In the presence of O2, pyruvate is further oxidized to CO2. In the absence of O2, pyruvate can be fermented to lactate or. ethanol. â¢ Net Reaction: Glucose + 2NAD+ + 2 Pi + 2 ADP =. 2 pyruvate + 2 ATP + 2 NADH + 2 H2O.
