The body manufactures ATP by breaking down glycogen or glucose. The ATP is then partially broken down to provide energy,

leaving behind lactic acid. After about three minutes of activity, enough lactic acid accumulates around the muscles

to cause muscle fatigue. No oxygen is involved in this anaerobic process.

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.


What metabolic pathway is common to both aerobic and anaerobic processes of sugar breakdown?
