|
glycolysis

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Glycolysis is the process by which glucose is broken down within the cytoplasm of a cell to form pyruvate. Under aerobic conditions, pyruvate can diffuse into mitochondria, where it enters the citric acid cycle and generates reducing equivalents in the form of NADH and FADH2.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are three main steps in glycolysis: substrate level phosphorylation, conversion of glucose-phosphate to fructose-phosphate, and the formation of two molecules of phosphate.
