| Where does glycolysis occur in the cell? | cytoplasm |
| metabolism: | all the chemical reactions that occur in the cell |
| Metabolic pathway: | a series of enzymatic reactions that result in the synthesis/ breakdown of a chemical substrate |
| enzyme substrate: | the reactants participating in a chemical reaction |
