2 phases of glycolysis
Chemical strategy:
1. add phosphoryl groups to
glucose (low phosphate
transfer potential bonds) =
priming
2. chemically convert low
energy phosphorylated
intermediates into
compounds with high
phosphate group-transfer
potential
3. chemically couple the
energy-yielding hydrolysis of
these to ATP synthesis
