Below are the enzymes of glycolysis. Write them in the correct order and write out what reaction it carries out on which molecule. Keep your descriptions to 10 words or less. For example, "hexokinase phosphorylates glucose on carbon 6".
Create your own pneumonic device for remembering the substrates and enzymes for glycolysis. Here are the lists of each with the commonly used letters bolded. If you are having trouble creating your own, Google "glycolysis pneumonic device". There are several online with varying degrees of classroom appropriateness. For those that start with the same letter, you can add extra letters to represent the second word as well. You can also include the numbers if it doesn't complicate it too much for you. I recommend starting with the enzymes since you can usually infer the substrate from the enzyme name. For example, hexokinase = 6 + phosphorylation = glucose (6 carbon sugar) + phosphate -> glucose-6-phosphate.
