In glycolysis, glucose is broken down through series of reactions in the presence of enzyme and absence of oxygen to produce
Acetyl-coenzyme + ATP
Phosphorylated glucose
pyruvic acid + ATP
Amino acid
Explicació
Glycolysis is the first step in cellular respiration and occurs in the cytoplasm of cells. It's a series of ten enzymatic reactions that break down glucose into pyruvic acid. In glycolysis, glucose is broken down through a series of enzyme-catalyzed reactions to produce pyruvate, ATP, and NADH
