Glycolysis is an ATP-generating metabolism that takes place in almost all living cells. It refers to the process of breaking down glucose or other sugars and converting them into pyruvic acid.

36 molecules when using aerobic respiration, but only 2 when using anaerobic.
828 glucose molecules and no water becuase hydrolysis removes water
in aerobic respiration: glucose + oxygen --> carbon dioxide + water + energy In anaerobic respiration: glucose --> lactic acid + energy
Per molecule of glucose aerobic respiration generates a total of 36ATP molecules while anarobic generates 2 ATP molecules?
If, we burn glucose, for example, we get carbon bi oxide,water and energy. We cannot do this in Biology as cell will burn away. So, we burn glucose, step by step, with a series of organic molecules with less and less energy stored in it. So in glucose biological burning we get about say 10 steps in anaerobic burning and about 10 in aerobic burning of glucose. So this long chain of events is called metabolic pathway. This is true for almost all organic molecules.
Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway common to both aerobic and anaerobic processes of sugar breakdown. It is the metabolic pathway that converts glucose into pyruvate. All organisms produce a high energy compound ATP by releasing energy stored in glucose and other sugars.
Definiton= the anaerobic production of lactic acid from glucose.

The glucose is split into 2 molecules of a three carbon compound
glucose-6-phosphate, pyruvic acid, acetyl CoA
36 molecules when using aerobic respiration, but only 2 when using anaerobic.
