In Arabic, glycolysis is called الإخْلال السكري (al-ikhlāl al-sukkari). It is a metabolic pathway that converts glucose into pyruvate, and in most organisms, occurs in the liquid part of cells, the cytosol. The free energy released in this process is used to form the high-energy molecules adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH).
الإخْلال السكري is an ancient metabolic pathway, meaning that it evolved long ago, and it is found in the great majority of organisms alive today. In organisms that perform cellular respiration, glycolysis is the first stage of this process. However, glycolysis doesn't require oxygen, and many anaerobic organisms—organisms that do not use oxygen—also have this pathway.
Here are some other Arabic words related to glycolysis:
- الجلكوزيد (al-jilkōzid) - glucose
- البيروفيت (al-bayrūfīt) - pyruvate
- ال ATP (al-ATP) - adenosine triphosphate
- النADH (an-NADH) - reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide
- الإنزيمات (al-ʾinzīmāt) - enzymes
- السيتوبلازم (al-sīṭūblāzām) - cytosol
- التمثيل الغذائي (al-tamthīl al-maʿādī) - metabolism
- الطاقة (al-ṭāʾiqa) - energy
