GlossaryMetabolic Pathways (metabolic processes)

series of chemical reactions converting molecules within cells

Metabolic pathways are a series of chemical reactions occurring within a cell that lead to the conversion of one or more substrates into specific products. These pathways are crucial for maintaining cellular function, as they manage the energy and resources needed for growth, reproduction, and maintenance. For example, the glycolysis pathway breaks down glucose to produce energy in the form of ATP.
