  • The glycolysis pathway is highly depending upon the glucose level in blood. If the glucose is in abundant, then the glycolysis process predominately occurs in order to solve the energy requirement of body. The intermediate formed in this process is called glycolytic intermediate.
  • Amino acid synthesis in human body arises from glycolytic intermediate.
