The Krebs cycle is an aerobic cycle of breaking down acetyl CoA. Each cycle yields a molecule of FADH₂ (flavin adenine dinucleotide+ H₂), a molecule of GTP (guanosine triphosphate), three...
Do you remember the final product of glycolysis? Yes, it is pyruvate. The pyruvate obtained after glycolysis act as the connecting link between different processes of metabolism. The fate of...
Benedict's test is a test used to determine the presence of reducing sugar in any substance. Reducing sugar is a simple carbohydrate with a free aldehyde or ketone group and acts as a reducing agent....
C-reactive protein (CRP) is one of several ‘acute-phase’ proteins formed by the liver and released into the blood circulation within a few hours after injury or response to inflammation. CRP...
Glucose is the most preferred source of energy for many cells. A common pathway for the catabolism of glucose is glycolysis, which breaks down glucose into pyruvate. Glycolysis is also called...
