Glycolysis is consideredanaerobic respiration because the process does not require oxygen. During glycolysis glucose is broken down into 2 smaller molecules called pyruvic acid. This process requires a small amount of energy, but over all it does have a net gain in energy production. Glycolysis is also the first step in aerobic respiration. The 2 pyruvic acid molecules enter into the Krebs cycle, followed by the electron transport chain. This process produces a relatively large amount of energy, and requires the presence of Oxygen to happen. That is why it is considered aerobic.

∙ 9y agoTo say that glycolysis is an anaerobic process is to say that this process does not require oxygen. Many organisms living on the bottom of the ocean use anaerobic processes.

What are the two stages of respiration?
aerobic respiration: glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and electron transport chain anaerobic respiration: glycolysis, fermentation (lactic acid or alcohol)
How can cells produce ATP without oxygen?
This question refers to anaerobic respiration. It is specifically known as the Cori, or lactic acid cycle which produces ATP between the muscle and liver.
What is the name of the process of resperation that does not require oxygen?
anaerobic respiration there is also fermentation, which is like anaerobic respiration but does not have an electron transport chain
Why anareobic glycolysis is speedy than aerobic one?
Glycolysis itself anaerobic process and forms pyruvate. If there is oxygen present, pyruvate is reduced to acetyl-coenzyme A; if there is no oxygen present, pyruvate goes through fermentation, forming either lactic acid or ethanol.
Why does glycolysis depend on oxygen?
Glycolysis does not depend on oxygen. It is the anaerobic part of cellular respiration and can produce 2 molecules of ATP without oxygen.
What is an example of anaerobic respiration?
Glycolysis
What stage in cellular respiration is anaerobic?
glycolysis
What do anaerobic and aerobic respiration have that are the same?
Glycolysis
Name the phase which is common for both aerobic and anaerobic respiration?
glycolysis is the phase common to both aerobic and anaerobic respiration.
What is the common phase between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?
glycolysis
What are the two stages of respiration?
aerobic respiration: glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and electron transport chain anaerobic respiration: glycolysis, fermentation (lactic acid or alcohol)
What metabolic process is necessary for aerobic and anaerobic respiration to take place?
Glycolysis
How can cells produce ATP without oxygen?
This question refers to anaerobic respiration. It is specifically known as the Cori, or lactic acid cycle which produces ATP between the muscle and liver.
Which stage of cellular respiration produces the least ATP?
Glycolysis or the anaerobic respiration make the least ATP in the stages of cellular respiration.
What is the name of the process of resperation that does not require oxygen?
anaerobic respiration there is also fermentation, which is like anaerobic respiration but does not have an electron transport chain
What is difference between glycolysis and fermentation?
Fermentation is anaerobic respiration. Glycolysis is part of aerobic respiration. The pathways for both processes, however, are almost identical to each other.
What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic glycolysis?
They are both types of respiration. Aerobic uses oxygen and anaerobic does not.
