21 - biochemical pathways and their location

PATHWAYS AND THE ORGANELLES IN WHICH THEY TAKE PLACE :

1. GLYCOLYSIS --------------------- CYTOPLASM
2. T.C.A CYCLE --------------------- MITOCHONDRIA
3. FATTY ACID SYNTHESIS ---- CYTOPLASM
4. FATTY ACID OXIDATION ---- MITOCHONDRIA

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5. KETONE BODY SYNTHESIS - MITOCHONDRIA
6. KETONE BODY OXIDATION – MITOCHONDRIA
7. H.M.P SHUNT --------------------- CYTOPLASM
8. GLUCONEOGENESIS ----------- CYTOPLASM AND MITOCHONDRIA

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

9. FATTY ACID ELONGATION – S . E . R
10. VERY LONG CHAIN FATTY ACID OXIDATION – PEROXISOME
11. ETHER PHOSPHOLIPID SYNTHESIS – PEROXISOME
12. CHOLESTEROL SYNTHESIS – CYTOPLASM AND ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM .
