How Is Glycolysis Pentose Phosphate Pathway And Tca Cycle Linked?

by

How Is Glycolysis Pentose Phosphate Pathway And Tca Cycle Linked? The glycolysis and pentose phosphate pathways (PPP) are tightly connected. The glucose entering the in cell membrane is rapidly phosphorylated by HK and converted to G-6-P. The G-6-P is metabolized either by the glycolytic pathway, generating pyruvate and lactate, or by PPP to produce NADPH.

Do Viruses Have Metabolism?

Do Viruses Have Metabolism? Do viruses have metabolism? Viruses are non-living entities and as such do not inherently have their own metabolism. However, within the last decade, it has become clear that viruses dramatically modify cellular metabolism upon entry into a cell. Why do viruses not have a metabolism? Next, all living things have metabolism.
