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.
Test your knowledge of the glycolysis metabolic pathway, which converts glucose into pyruvate and produces energy molecules like ATP and NADH. Explore the sequence of reactions and the phases involved in glycolysis.
