CAN SOMEONE HELP ME IN naming specific all the intermidates of glycolysis

glucose--->glucose6p--->fructose6p--->fructose1-6bip--->diOHacetonep&glyceraldehyde3p---->1-3biPglycerate-->3Pglycerate--->2Pglycerate--->PEP-->pyruvate

first step is irreversible bc high neg free energy change. need all the enzymes and products,too?
 
To answer the flurry of questions that's bound to come of this post:

No, we don't have to know intermediates, other than PGAL, basically. Glucose, PGAL, pyruvate, ATP, NADH: these are the fundamentals. Leave intermediates, their enzymes, and all the endergonic/exergonic individual steps for your biochem classes.

My DAT had a question about an intermediate...not to freak you out or anything. It was easy enough to answer without knowing the cycles in great detail.

WILL aranjuez''s answer suffice?


No, I would learn a few of the intermediates amsie posted earlier. Like I said, it was an easy question most people should get correct so don't stress too much.
