Glycolysis

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Glycolysis, which is the first step in all types of cellular respiration is anaerobic and does not require oxygen.
Detailed explanation-2: -The first step in glycolysis is catalyzed by hexokinase, an enzyme with broad specificity that catalyzes the phosphorylation of six-carbon sugars. Hexokinase phosphorylates glucose using ATP as the source of the phosphate, producing glucose-6-phosphate, a more reactive form of glucose.
