Detailed explanation-1: -EMP pathway is the other name of glycolysis. It is named after the three scientists Gustav Embden, Otto Meyerhof, and J. Parnas, who gave the scheme of glycolysis. It is the pathway of glucose catabolism.

Detailed explanation-2: -The starting molecule for glycolysis is glucose, a simple and abundant sugar found in carbohydrates, which provides the energy for most cells. Carbohydrates synthesized during photosynthesis act as the main storage molecules of solar energy.

Detailed explanation-3: -The scheme of glycolysis was given by Embden, Meyerhof and Parnas. Hence it is also known as the EMP pathway.

Detailed explanation-4: -In glycolysis also known as EMP pathway, glucose undergoes partial oxidation to form two molecules of pyruvic acid. Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell and is present in almost all living organism. In anaerobic organism, it is the only process in respiration.
