glycolysis. (:
Glycolysis is the conversion of glucose into ATP (Adenosine Triphospate) molecules in short. In any case, energy is released.
The committed step of glycolysis is the reaction catalyzed by phophofructokine (PFK) converting fructose-6-phosphate into fructose-1,6- bisphosphate. The reaction is irreversible and secondly, it's the only reaction peculiar to the glycolysis.
Phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP)
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

Glycolysis.
The hormones that regulate glycolysis are insulin and glucagon.Insulin is released by the pancreas when blood glucose levels are high for example after eating. Glucogen is released by the pancreas when blood glucose levels drop too far. It has the opposite effect of insulin.

Hexokinase
The "committed" reaction is also the rate-limiting reaction
Phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP)
The first reaction in glycolysis is the phosphorylation of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate by the enzyme hexokinase. This step consumes one molecule of ATP to phosphorylate glucose, making it more reactive for subsequent steps in glycolysis.
