The process of synthesizing 36 ATP molecules from glucose involves several interconnected metabolic pathways, primarily occurring within the mitochondria.



ATP Synthesis from Glucose:



Glycolysis: The breakdown of glucose through glycolysis yields a net gain of 2 ATP molecules directly within the cytoplasm of the cell. This initial stage involves the partial breakdown of glucose into pyruvate, generating a small amount of ATP and NADH.

The synthesis of RNA molecules in the cell is a fundamental process that involves the action of specialized enzymes and plays a crucial role in gene expression and protein synthesis.



RNA Synthesis Process



Enzymes Involved: RNA synthesis is performed by enzymes called RNA polymerases. In higher organisms, there are three main RNA polymerases, designated I, II, and III (or sometimes A, B, and C). Each is a complex protein consisting of many subunits.
