Detailed explanation-1: -Glycolysis occurs both during aerobic and anaerobic respiration . It is the first pathway for the oxidative breakdown of glucose.
Detailed explanation-2: -During glycolysis, glucose ultimately breaks down into pyruvate and energy; a total of 2 ATP is derived in the process (Glucose + 2 NAD+ + 2 ADP + 2 Pi–> 2 Pyruvate + 2 NADH + 2 H+ + 2 ATP + 2 H2O). The hydroxyl groups allow for phosphorylation. The specific form of glucose used in glycolysis is glucose 6-phosphate.
Detailed explanation-3: -Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
Detailed explanation-4: -In organisms that perform cellular respiration, glycolysis is the first stage of this process. However, glycolysis doesn’t require oxygen, and many anaerobic organisms-organisms that do not use oxygen-also have this pathway.
Detailed explanation-5: -Glycolysis takes place in the cell’s cytoplasm. Glycolysis is a process that happens in all living organisms, both aerobic and anaerobic.
