Glycolysis- Pathway, Energetics and Significance

by

Glycolysis Glycolysis is the cellular breakdown of glucose, the sugar our bodies use for fuel, into pyruvate. This foundational process happens in the cytoplasm, the jelly-like center of most cells, and can function without oxygen. While it only directly generates a small amount of energy, it’s like the appetizer to the main course of energy … Read more
