What is glucolisis?

Answer 1

Glycolysis (from glycose, an older term[1] for glucose + -lysis degradation) is themetabolic pathway that converts glucose C6H12O6, into pyruvate, CH3COCOO− + H+. The free energy released in this process is used to form the high-energy compounds ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and NADH (reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide).[2]

Answer 2

Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that converts glucose into pyruvate, generating ATP and NADH in the process. It occurs in the cytoplasm of cells and is the first step in both aerobic and anaerobic respiration.
