hey glycolysis is both an anabolic and a catabolic reaction, because at first, your are investing energy which is ATP, then you later harvest ATP with pyruvate (3C compound), and NADH. So it is both processes
The first stage in cellular respiration is known as Glycolysis.
1. Glucose enters the cell by simple diffusion across the membrane. The addition of a bulky polar group like phosphate prevents it from diffusing right back out. 2. This is the first phosphate group that will contribute to the formation of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (GAP), an important intermediate in glycolysis.
Protein
glycolysis it's the first stage, the rest of it occurs in the mitochondria.
The first step
First step of glycolysis- the phosphorylation of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate.
The first reaction of glycolysis, where glucose is phosphorylated (a phosphate group is added) to give glucose - 6 - phosphate requires ATP. This reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme hexokinase
Fructose-6-phosphate to fructose 1,6-bisphosphate. Phosphofructokinase (PFK). Requires ATP, Mg. First majorly regulated step of glycolysis. Irreversible
Glucose is phosphorylated to form glucose-6-phosphate. ALL biochemical reactions occur only and exclusively through the action of enzymes.
during the first step of glycolysis C6 is phosphorylated, turning it into a phosphate ester which is a low energy compound.
Hexokinase
Glycolysis is the break down of glucose in pyruate and release of energy here are the steps in which glycolysis occurGlucose ------> glucsose-6-phosphate -------> fructose-6-phosphate --------> fructose-1,6-bisphosphate --------> glyceraldhyde-3- phosphate and dihydroxyactone phosphate now dihydroxyacetone phosphate isomerize in glyceraldhyde-3- phosphate ----------- 2 glyceraldhyde -3- phosphate ------------> 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate ---------> 3-phosphoglycerate ----------> 2-phosphoglycerate -----------> phosphoenolpyruate ----------- pyruatein these reactions during reaction 1 and 3 ATP are changed into ADP and so these are called energy consuming reactions and in 7 and 10th step 2 ATP are released in both steps so forming 4 ATP and in end giving net gain of 2 ATP. So in glycolysis fructose is consumed after isomerisation and phosphorylating in 2nd step, Fructose also enter directly in glycolysis in some species which use fruit sugar fructose which first convert in Dfructose which is then phorphorylated in fructose-6-phosphate
Glucose, glucose-6-phosphate

Hexokinase- This enzyme catalyzes the first reaction in glycolysis pathway.phosphotase- the enzyme that removes a phosphate group.Catalase- The enzyme that seperates peroxide (H2O2) into water and oxygen (H2O, O)As a rule of thumb, anything ending in the suffix -ase is 99.9% of the time an enzymeAmylase., Protease
