Glycolysis is the first step of respiration (both aerobic and anaerobic). Thus it begins whenever respiration begins.

Glycolysis is a process of 'glucose splitting'. 2 Adenosine Tri-Phosphate -ATP, made in the mitochondria- are used to convert 1 molecule of 6-carbon Glucose into 2 molecules of 3-carbon Pyruvic acids. During this process a Hydrogen molecule is released which is the taken to the Cytochrome system stage of Respiration by carrier molecule NAD. These 2 Pyruvic acid molecules then go on to Krebs' cycle.
