The main difference between glycolysis and Krebs cycle is: Glycolysis is the first step involved in the process of respiration and occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell. ... SoGlycolysis is defined as the chain of thereactions, for the conversion of glucose (or glycogen) into pyruvate lactate and thus producing ATP.

Glycolysis or Embden - Meyerhof - Parnas (EMP) pathway: The sequence of chemical reactions by which one molecule of glucose is converted to two molecules of pyruvic acid is termed as glycolysis. It take place in the cytoplasm and it does not require oxygen. Hence glycolysis is an anaerobic process. It is also known as Embden - Meyerhof - Parnas (EMP) pathway.
Krebs Cycle or Citric Acid Cycle or Tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA cycle): The entire Krebs cycle occurs in side the mitochondria. The oxidation of pyruvic acid into carbon dioxide and water is called Krebs cycle. It was discovered by Krebs in 1936. This cycle is also called citric acid cycle, because the cycle begins with the formation of citric acid. The citric acid is a carboxylic acid containing three COOH groups.
