Glycolysis is also known as EMP pathway.
Breakdown of glucose to pyruvic acid by partial oxidation
Scheme given by Embden, Meyerhof and Parnas
Common pathway for aerobic and anaerobic cellular respiration
Occurs in the cytoplasm of a cell
Present in all living organisms
In plants, sucrose is converted into glucose.
A chain of 10 reactions converts glucose into pyruvate.
Hope this helps,

EMP pathway is the regular type of glycolysis known as Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas which is named from the three biochemists who discovered it.
This pathway has two phase. The phase which generates ATP is known as Pay Off phase. The phase where ATP is consumed is known as Preparatory/Inventory phase.
The hard task of this process is to find the pathway due to the very short life span and due to low steady state concentrations.
The schematic representation is given below very neatly.
