Glycolysis

The first stage of cellular respiration, where a six-carbon glucose molecule is broken down into two three-carbon pyruvic acid molecules.

Where does glycolysis occur?

The process of glycolysis occurs in the cytosol of the cell, which is the fluid part of the cytoplasm, excluding organelles.

Is glycolysis anaerobic?

Glycolysis does not require oxygen to function, making it an anaerobic process. This is why glycolysis can occur even in the absence of oxygen.

How much ATP does glycolysis produce?

A small amount of energy is produced during glycolysis, which results in the formation of only two ATP molecules.

Is glucose fully broken down in glycolysis?

During glycolysis, glucose is only partially broken down, meaning that a significant amount of potential energy remains within the pyruvic acid molecules.
