Glycolysis

A metabolic pathway in the cytoplasm of cells that breaks down glucose into pyruvate, generating energy.

Pyruvate

A key intermediate in several metabolic pathways, it plays a crucial role in energy production in cells.

ATP

Adenosine triphosphate, a molecule that carries energy within cells for metabolism.
