hiii friend!!!!
Glycolysis is a complex biological process that occurs to convert glucose into pyruvate in order to provide energy for each living cell. Since the glycolysis cycle involves the conversion of blood sugar into an anion of pyruvic acid (pyruvate), glycolysis is also referred to as the citric acid cycle. Since this event also involves the release of free energy, it is considered to be a thermodynamic reaction. The end result is the synthesis of adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP) and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), two nucleotides that are key components of DNA and important for proper metabolic functioning. While glycolysis is a simple example of anaerobic cellular respiration and fermentation, there are ten reactive steps to occur that involve several catalyst enzymes and intermediate compounds
