Which metabolic pathway is common to both cellular respiration and fermentation?

The glycolytic pathway is common to both fermentation and cellular respiration. During the course of the metabolic pathway, glucose is broken down to pyruvate. In the presence of oxygen, the pyruvate molecule becomes involved in the TCA cycle. In the absence of oxygen however, fermentation occures. The process is brought about by an enzyme called alcohol dehydrogenase.


Is it true that PEP is a feedback inhibitor of Phosphofructokinase?

No, it is not true. PEP, or phosphoenolpyruvate, is actually a substrate for phosphofructokinase (PFK), a key enzyme in glycolysis. PEP is converted to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate by PFK, which is an important step in the glycolytic pathway.


In Sugarcane how Starch is converted into Glucose?

by malate aspartate pathway


Cell structure that produces ATP energy molecules?

Some ATP is produced by the glycolytic pathway which is located in the cytoplasm. Most is synthesized by the protein ATP synthase, which is found in the mitochondrion.


Can cell membrane mannose be used for adherence?

Yes it can. In fact, this is specifically the target of Type 1 Fimbriae. Many pathogenic Enterobacteriaceae posses this kind of Fimbriae as a virulence factor. These Fimbriae contain receptor domains similar to the MBL (Mannose Binding Lectin) present in blood plasma. The difference is that the human MBL recognizes the pathogen's Mannose residues and can initiate the MB-Lectin pathway, activating the complement cascade. This leads to pathogen opsonization. Cheers.
