Glycolysis does not depend on oxygen. It is the anaerobic part of cellular respiration and can produce 2 molecules of ATP without oxygen.

Is oxygen necessary for glycolysis?

No - glycolysis is anaerobic (it does occur in the presence of oxygen).


Glycolysis and oxidative respiration are different in that?

Glycolysis occurs in the absence of oxygen while oxidative respiration requires oxygen


In presence of oxygen glycolysis is followed by?

When oxygen is present, the Krebs Cycle and then the Electron transport chain follow glycolysis. When oxygen is not present, a different pathway follows glycolysis. The combination of glycolysis and the different pathway is called fermentation.


What is produced in the absence of oxygen during glycolysis?

In the absence of oxygen during glycolysis, pyruvate is converted into lactate through a process called fermentation. This allows glycolysis to continue generating ATP in the absence of oxygen by regenerating NAD+ from NADH, which is needed for glycolysis to proceed.


Does glycolysis stop when oxygen becomes unavailable to the cell?

Actually that's when the glycolysis occurs at a greater rate. Glycolysis is anaerobic, meaning it doesn't require oxygen. Without the presence of oxygen, glycolysis is undertaken to produce small amounts of ATP. It can also make lactic acid which can build up and become toxic to the body.


Is glycolysis a aerobic process?

No. Glycolysis is anaerobic and do not require oxygen.


Does the Glycolysis require the presence of oxygen?

no


Which step in the process of glycolysis requires the presence of oxygen?

None of the steps in glycolysis require the presence of oxygen. Glycolysis is the process of breaking down glucose to produce energy, and it occurs in the cytoplasm of cells, independent of oxygen availability.


Why can glycolysis supply energy to cells when oxygen is not avalable?

Glycolysis can occur without oxygen. Although glycolysis does not require oxygen, it does require NAD+. Cells without oxygen available need to regenerate NAD+ from NADH so that in the absence of oxygen, at least some ATP can be made by glycolysis.


How much molecular oxygen is required in the fermentation of one molecule of glucose?

In the fermentation of one molecule of glucose, no molecular oxygen is required. Fermentation is an anaerobic process that does not involve oxygen and is used by some organisms to generate energy from glucose in the absence of oxygen.


The difference between aerobic and anaerobic glycolysis is?

Aerobic glycolysis requires oxygen to break down glucose into energy, producing a higher yield of ATP. Anaerobic glycolysis does not require oxygen and produces lactate as a byproduct, leading to a lower yield of ATP. Anaerobic glycolysis is used during intense or short-duration activities when oxygen supply is limited.


What does it mean to say that glycolysis is an aerobic process?

Cellular respiration sometimes is referred to as aerobic respiration, meaning that it occurs in the presence of oxygen, and is not an anaerobic process. Glycolysis is one of the processes in cellular respiration. In the final steps of glycolysis, two hydrogen atoms are removed from each three-carbon compound by bonding to free-floating oxygen atoms in the cytoplasm to form water.
