 1 Glucose is phosphorylated to glucose-6-phosphate.

2.1.
Glucose-6-phosphate converts to fructose-6-phosphate
Summary of 2 and then to fructose 1,6 – biphosphate.
the
glycolysis Fructose 1,6 - biphosphate converts to 1,3 -
process 3 biphosphoglycerate, creating ATP and NADH.

1,3 – biphosphoglycerate cleaves phosphate

4 to produce ATP and pyruvic acid.

process
 2.2. Role

ATP

Helps produce energy in the form of ATP molecules,

allows carbohydrates to enter the Crep cycle,
creates pyruvic acid to synthesize glycerone, amino
acids, produces NADH for the electron transport
chain in aerobic respiration gas to create additional
ATP, stimulate insulin production to help reduce
appetite, and the digestive system works more
effectively.
 2.3. Meaningful

Releasing part of the energy contained in glucose is an

important process for the body's evolution, helping the body

have energy even in a state of strenuous activity (exercising,

jogging,... ), provides energy reserves in the liver in the form of

glycogen to keep blood sugar levels stable.
