Many types of bacteria can live in Anaerobic conditions, I.e they don't need oxygen to live, as they create energy using anaerobic respiration.

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.


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.


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.


What is required for anaerobic glycolysis to produce ATP?

Anaerobic glycolysis requires glucose and enzymes to produce ATP without the need for oxygen.


Is oxygen necessary for glycolysis?

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


Anaerobic glycolsis occurs without?

Anaerobic glycolysis occurs without the presence of oxygen. In this process, glucose is broken down into pyruvate, generating some ATP. Since oxygen is not available to accept the electrons and hydrogen ions produced during glycolysis, pyruvate is converted into either lactate or ethanol to regenerate NAD+ for continued ATP production.


Which stage of respiration occurs whether or not oxygen is present?

Glycolysis literally means "splitting sugars." Glucose, a six carbon sugar, is split into two molecules of a three carbon sugar. In the process, two molecules of ATP and two "high energy" electron carrying molecules are produced. Glycolysis can occur with or without oxygen. In the presence of oxygen, glycolysis is the first stage of cellular respiration. Without oxygen, glycolysis allows cells to make small amounts of ATP. This process is called fermentation.
