What is the main metabolic pathway when oxygen is present?

Glycolysis is a linear metabolic pathway of enzyme-catalyzed reactions that convert glucose into two molecules of pyruvate in the presence of oxygen or into two molecules of lactate in the absence of oxygen.

What metabolic pathway uses oxygen?

The citric acid cycle is the aerobic pathway of cellular respiration.

What are the main metabolic pathways?

In humans, the most important metabolic pathways are: glycolysis - glucose oxidation in order to obtain ATP. citric acid cycle (Krebs' cycle) - acetyl-CoA oxidation in order to obtain GTP and valuable intermediates. ... gluconeogenesis - glucose synthesis from smaller percursors, to be used by the brain.

What are the three metabolic pathways?

Cellular respiration is a collection of three unique metabolic pathways: glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and the electron transport chain.
