Carbohydrate Metabolism is a collection of metabolic processes responsible for the formation, breakdown, and interconversion of carbohydrates in living organisms. It includes:

Glycolysis

Step 1: Hexokinase:

Step 2: Phosphoglucose isomerase

Step 3: Phosphofructokinase

Step 4: Aldolase

Step 5: Triose Phosphate Isomerase

Step 6: Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate Dehydrogenase

Step 7: Phosphoglycerate kinase

Step 8: Phosphoglycerate mutase

Step 9: Phosphopyruvate hydratase (enolase)

Step 10: Pyruvate kinase

Citric Acid Cycle

Step 0 / 10 - Aldol condensation - Citrate synthase

Step 1 - Dehydration - Aconitase

Step 2 - Hydration - Aconitase

Step 3 - Oxidation - Isocitrate dehydrogenase

Step 4 - Decarboxylation - Isocitrate dehydrogenase

Step 5 - Oxidative decarboxylation - α-Ketoglutarate dehydrogenase (2-Oxoglutarate Dehydrogenase)

Step 6 - Substrate-level phosphorylation - Succinyl-CoA synthetase

Step 7 - Oxidation - Succinate dehydrogenase

Step 8 - Hydration - Fumarase

Step 9 - Oxidation - Malate dehydrogenase

Step 10 / 0 - Aldol condensation - Citrate synthase

Gluconeogenesis
