Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Aerobic glycolysis is a series of reactions wherein oxygen is required to reoxidize NADH to NAD+, hence the name. This ten-step process begins with a molecule of glucose and ends up with two molecules of pyruvate[1].
Detailed explanation-2: -Glycolysis is the metabolic process that serves as the foundation for both aerobic and anaerobic cellular respiration. Although it doesn’t require oxygen (its purpose in anaerobic respiration) it is also the first step in cellular respiration.
