What is the difference between Embden-Meyerhof pathway and glycolysis?

Sourav PanDecember 13, 2024

Answered

The Embden-Meyerhof pathway is the specific name for the glycolytic pathway in eukaryotic cells and some prokaryotes. In essence, it is glycolysis in its detailed biochemical form, describing the ten-step enzymatic reactions that break down glucose into pyruvate. Thus, the Embden-Meyerhof pathway and glycolysis are often used interchangeably, but the former specifically refers to the series of reactions in certain organisms.
