Question

what is glycolysis ​

Answer 1

Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that converts glucose C₆H₁₂O₆, into pyruvate, CH₃COCOO⁻, and a hydrogen ion, H⁺. The free energy released in this process is used to form the high-energy molecules ATP and NADH. Glycolysis is a sequence of ten enzyme-catalyzed reactions.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Glycolysis is the primary stage of cellular respiration that happens when the form of sugar molecules breaks to release energy. The metabolic pathway helps in breaking and converting one molecule of glucose- C6H12O6 into two molecules of pyruvate – CH3COCOO− + H+.
