What is another word for glycolysis?
Pronunciation: [ɡla͡ɪkˈɒləsˌɪs] (IPA) 
Glycolysis is a metabolic pathway that takes place in the cytoplasm of cells, converting glucose into pyruvate energy. Synonyms for glycolysis include the Embden-Meyerhof pathway, the hexose monophosphate shunt, and the Entner-Doudoroff pathway. The Embden-Meyerhof pathway is the most commonly used route, with the hexose monophosphate shunt being an alternative pathway that produces NADPH. The Entner-Doudoroff pathway is only seen in a few species of bacteria and allows for the production of ATP, NADH, and pyruvate. Understanding these synonyms for glycolysis can help researchers comprehend various metabolic pathways as well as provide insight into alternative treatments for metabolic disorders.
