Answer:
Glycolysis is a cytoplasmic pathway which breaks down glucose into two three-carbon compounds and generates energy. Glucose is trapped by phosphorylation, with the help of the enzyme hexokinase. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is used in this reaction and the product, glucose-6-P, inhibits hexokinase.

Answer:
- Glycolysis is the first step of aerobic and anaerobic respiration and occur in the cytoplasm of the cell.
- In this process, a molecule of glucose is oxidised in a stepwise manner to form two molecules each of pyruvic acid, ATP, NADH2 and water
- Pyruvic acid formed during this process is converted into acetyl coenzyme A with the release of two molecules each of NADH2 and CO2. This acetyl coenzyme A then the enters the Krebs cycle
