Glycolysis is a metabolic pathway that converts glucose into pyruvate with the simultaneous production of small amounts of ATP (energy).
congrats on reading the definition of Glycolysis. now let's actually learn it.
Glucose: A simple sugar that serves as the main source of energy for cells. It's what gets broken down during glycolysis.
Pyruvate: The end product of glycolysis, which can then be used in the citric acid cycle to produce more energy.
ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate): The main energy currency of cells. It's what gets produced during glycolysis and other metabolic processes.
