Glycolysis is a key metabolic pathway for organisms. In it, glucose is converted into two pyruvate molecules. The process includes ten enzymes, described in further detail on the linked pages. | [[Glycolysis]] is a key metabolic pathway for organisms. In it, glucose is converted into two pyruvate molecules.

The first phase of glycolysis is sometimes referred to as the "investment phase", where ATP is consumed to set up later, energy generating steps. | The first phase of glycolysis is sometimes referred to as the "investment phase", where ATP is consumed to set up later, energy generating steps. | ||
