Detailed explanation-1: -Glycolysis is a term used to describe the metabolic pathway involving the degradation of glucose into pyruvate and energy used to form adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH).
Detailed explanation-2: -Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm where one 6 carbon molecule of glucose is oxidized to generate two 3 carbon molecules of pyruvate. The fate of pyruvate depends on the presence or absence of mitochondria and oxygen in the cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -Glycolysis produces only two net molecules of ATP per 1 molecule of glucose. However, in cells lacking mitochondria and/or adequate oxygen supply, glycolysis is the sole process by which such cells can produce ATP from glucose.
