Summary of Glycolysis

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6
  • Glycolysis does not require oxygen. It begins the aerobic and anaerobic process.
  • It occurs in the cytoplasm of a cell.
  • Glycolysis breaks down glucose into two pyruvate molecules which, in aerobic conditions, are used in the next step of cellular metabolism, the Krebs Cycle.
  • In addition to the two pyruvate, the net result of glycolysis is two ATP and two NADH.
