1. Also known as the glycolytic
pathway, is the metabolic process
that releases energy from glucose.
Step 5:
The DHAP from step 6 is rapidly converted into GAP by the
enzyme triose-phosphate isomerase.
The Energy-Releasing Phase of
Glycolysis
Step 9:
The enzyme enolase removes a water molecule from
each of the 2 PGA molecules formed in step 8. This
creates two molecules of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP).
Step 10
A phosphate group is transferred
from PEP to ADP. This reaction is
catalyzed by pyruvate kinase and
creates two molecules of ATP and
two molecules of pyruvate.
Product of Glycolysis
The net products of glycolysis are two molecules
of ATP, two molecules of pyruvate, and two
molecules of NADH. If oxygen is present, the
pyruvate can now be used in aerobic
respiration.
The enzyme enolase removes a water molecule from
each of the 2 PGA molecules formed in step 8.
This creates two molecules of phosphoenolpyruvate
(PEP)
The ATP produced by glycolysis is used to fuel
all other cellular processes, and the NADH is
recycled back to NAD+ for use in future rounds
of glycolysis.

Key points of Glycolysis:
It is a process in which a glucose molecule is
broken down into two molecules of pyruvate.
The process takes place in the cytosol of cells.
