Melvin Calvin
The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded for significant contributions to peace, not for scientific discoveries. The biochemical pathway used by plants to make glucose is called photosynthesis, and it is fundamental to the survival of all plants. However, no individual specifically received a Nobel Peace Prize for discovering this process.
The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1961 was awarded to Melvin Calvin for his research on the carbon dioxide assimilation in plants, specifically for identifying the pathway of carbon dioxide fixation in photosynthesis known as the Calvin cycle. This cycle elucidated how plants convert carbon dioxide into glucose using energy from sunlight.
Photosynthesis produces glucose as the main end product. Cellulose is a structural carbohydrate that is synthesized from glucose by plants using enzymes and additional chemical processes.
The process that produces energy in the body is called cellular respiration. It involves breaking down glucose to release energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) through a series of biochemical reactions. Oxygen is required for this process to efficiently occur in cells.
The anaerobic pathway cellular respiration is known as glycolysis. In glycolysis, glucose molecules are broken down into two pyruvate molecules.Glycolysis is the only stage of cellular respiration which can occur without oxygen. The theoretical yield of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is 2 molecules for this first stage.
Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that turns glucose into pyruvate and can also produce glucose FROM pyruvate when working in reverse. The major details of this pathway were illuminated largely by three men: Jakub Karol Parnas, Gustav Embden, and Otto Meyerhof. Of these men, only Meyerhof would receive a Nobel Prize.
