metabolic pathway is a series of chemical reactions in a cell that build and breakdown molecules for cellular processes. ... Catabolic pathways break down molecules and produce energy.

In humans, the most important metabolic pathways are: glycolysis - glucose oxidation in order to obtain ATP. citric acid cycle (Krebs' cycle) - acetyl-CoA oxidation in order to obtain GTP and valuable intermediates. oxidative phosphorylation - disposal of the electrons released by glycolysis and citric acid cycle.
