The sixth step of this pathway transfers a phosphate group to G3P and attaches a hydrogen to NAD+ (N-A-D-plus), while the seventh step transfers that phosphate group to ADP, recouping two of the initial ATP inputs.
The rate-limiting step in this pathway is catalyzed by phosphofructokinase (FOSS-fo-FROOK-toe-KYE-nase) and, like the first step, requires a magnesium cofactor. The sixth step of this pathway transfers a phosphate group to G3P and attaches a hydrogen to NAD+ (N-A-D-plus), while the seventh step transfers that phosphate group to ADP, recouping two of the initial ATP inputs. The last step of this pathway also creates ATP for a net of two ATP per input glucose molecule. For 10 points, name this pathway that breaks down glucose.
