Study Notes
- Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that converts glucose (C6H12O6) into pyruvate (CH3COCO2H).
- The free energy released in this process is used to form the high-energy molecules adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH).
- Glycolysis is a sequence of ten reactions catalyzed by enzymes.
- The glycolysis pathway can be separated into two phases: the investment phase and the yield phase.
- In most organisms, glycolysis occurs in the liquid part of cells, the cytosol.
