Glycolysis Glucose is the major form in which carbohydrate absorbed from the intestinal tract is presented to cells of the body. Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that converts glucose C6H12O6, into pyruvate, CH3COCOO− + H+ in the presence of oxygen.The free energy released in this process is used to form the high-energy compounds ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and NADH .Pyruvate can be further processed anaerobically to […]
