The first step to respiration is glycolysis.

The first step of the process is the digestion.

The first step to respiration is glycolysis.
Glycolysis or "Splitting of sugar", has to happen in the cell's cytoplasm before cellular respiration can occur. I hope this helps!
Glycolysis breaks down glucose to form the reactants of cellular respiration
Glucose and oxygen begin the process of respiration.
The hexose sugar is broken down into pyruvic acid

Cellular respiration begins with glycolysis in the cytoplasm of the cell.
The six-carbon molecule in the first step of cellular respiration is glucose. During glycolysis, glucose is converted into two molecules of pyruvate, which are three-carbon compounds. This process occurs in the cytoplasm and generates a small amount of ATP and NADH, which are used in subsequent stages of cellular respiration.
