Why is glycolysis considered anaerobic respiration?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Glycolysis is considered anaerobic respiration because it does not require oxygen to produce ATP from glucose. It is the first step in both aerobic and anaerobic respiration, with the end products being pyruvate and a small amount of ATP in the absence of oxygen.

Answer 3

To 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.

Answer 4

Yes. Glycolysis does not require oxygen.

Answer 5

Not.require oxygen
