Question

fill in the blank question

the multi-step energy-yielding conversion of glucose to pyruvic acid is

Explanation:

Identify the metabolic pathway

$$ \text{Glucose } (\text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6) \xrightarrow{\text{10-step enzymatic pathway}} 2 \text{ Pyruvic acid } (\text{C}_3\text{H}_4\text{O}_3) + 2\text{ ATP} + 2\text{ NADH} $$

Determine the standard biological term

$$ \text{Pathway Name} = \text{Glycolysis} $$

Answer:

The multi-step energy-yielding conversion of glucose to pyruvic acid is <blank>glycolysis</blank>.
