A very famous one is glycolysis where glucose is gradually broken down through a number of steps into acetyl coenzyme a.

Enzymes, BTW, are the biological catalysts that help the biochemical reactions occur. So, in the 10 (or so) steps in the glycolytic pathway there are 10 (or so) different enzymes: each one catalysing one particular step.
