Answer:
pls mark me as brain list.
Explanation:
Glycolysis is the first pathway used in the breakdown of glucose to extract energy. It takes place in the cytoplasm of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. ... Overall, the process of glycolysis produces a net gain of two pyruvate molecules, two ATP molecules, and two NADH molecules for the cell to use for energy.

- The initial process for breaking down glucose to extract energy is glycolysis.
- Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells experience it in their cytoplasm.
- It is thought to be one of the first metabolic routes to emerge, as it is used by almost all living things on the planet.
- Anaerobic refers to a procedure that does not need oxygen.
- Glycolysis is the first of the cellular respiration's key metabolic processes to create ATP, which is the energy currency.
- A sequence of enzyme processes cleaves the six-carbon ring of glucose into two three-carbon sugars of pyruvate in two stages.
- The first phase of glycolysis demands energy, whereas the second completes the conversion to pyruvate and provides ATP and NADH for usage by the cell.
