Glycolysis is the metabolic process of converting glucose into a pyruvate. It serves as a foundation for the two cellular respiration namely the aerobic and anaerobic respiration. It has four reactions namely, hexokinase, glucose-6 pshospahate isomerase, phosphofructokinase (PFK) and aldolase.
Aldolase or Glycolysis reaction 4 is significant because it splits the fructose1,6 biphosphonate into glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (GAP) and dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP).
