Introduction to Glycolysis Glycolysis is a fundamental biochemical pathway that represents the first and most ancient stage in the breakdown of glucose to extract usable chemical energy. It is a sequence of ten enzyme-mediated reactions that occurs in the cytoplasm (cytosol) of virtually all cells. This pathway transforms one molecule of glucose (a six-carbon monosaccharide) … Read more
