State

A metabolic pathway is a series of interconnected reactions, each catalyzed by its own enzyme, that converts a starting substrate into a final product through intermediate steps.

Show

Glycolysis is a ten-step metabolic pathway converting one glucose molecule into two molecules of pyruvate.

Watch for

A pathway's intermediates are not waste — many feed directly into other pathways elsewhere in the cell.
