Glycolysis is an extremely important and ancient metabolic process. the term is generally used to refer to the embden-meyerhof-parnas pathway, but other processes can also be used that start with the same substrate and that produce atp (e. g., the entner-douderoff pathway). what is the substrate that is used for the first step classic process?
