Reaction Intermediates

The video tutorial explains reaction intermediates using glycolysis as an example. It highlights the importance of understanding the steps between reactants and products, which are not visible and require experimentation to identify. An analogy of a caterpillar transforming into a butterfly is used to illustrate the concept. The tutorial also covers how to identify intermediates in chemical reactions and introduces the EMP pathway, named after the scientists who discovered it.
