Glycolysis is the process of breakdown of glucose to extract energy for cellular metabolism. It takes place in the cytosol of a cell. Pyruvic acid is the key product of the process of glycolysis. 1 molecule of Glucose (6C) undergoes phosphorylation with the help of ATP to form 1 molecule Glucose-6-phosphate (6C) in the presence of enzyme Hexokinase and Magnesium ions as cofactor.



1 molecule of Fructose-6-phosphate (6C) undergoes phosphorylation with the help of ATP to form 1 molecule of Fructose 1,6-diphosphate (6C) in the presence of enzyme Phosphor-fructo-kinase and Magnesium ions as cofactor.
