Understanding Glycolysis

Metabolism is the sum of all chemical reactions that occur in living organisms, allowing them to convert food into energy and building blocks for growth. One of the fundamental processes of metabolism includes the breakdown of glucose through a series of enzymatic reactions known as glycolysis. This process occurs in the cytoplasm of cells and converts one molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate along with producing a small yield of ATP.
