Glycolysis is the metabolic trail that converts glucose into pyruvate and a hydrogen ion. The free energy emitted in this process is used to create the high-energy molecules ATP and NADH. Glycolysis is a cycle of enzyme-catalyzed reactions.

Glycolysis is an oxygen-independent pathway. The wide occurrence of glycolysis signifies that it is a metabolic pathway. The responses that represent glycolysis and its parallel pathway, the pentose phosphate pathway, occur metal-catalyzed under the Archean oceans' oxygen-free circumstances, also in the absence of enzymes.

In most organisms, glycolysis takes place in the cytosol. The glycolysis pathway can be divided into two phases. These include the preparatory phase in which ATP is consumed and the payoff phase in which ATP is produced.

The correct answer to this question is glycolysis. This is another process by which organisms get their energy in the absence of oxygen. Glycolysis entails all processes that allow the body cell to attract energy from glucose in the absence of oxygen.

Glycolysis is different from other processes that occur in the cell since it can occur both in the presence and absence of oxygen. Glycolysis is a naturally occurring process, mostly in organisms that do not require oxygen to break down glucose. It is a process that helps convert glucose into pyruvic acid.

This reaction also produces a hydrogen ion. However, the energy released by this reaction is used by the cell to form both NADH and ATP. Although there are about 10 steps to this reaction; the first five steps occur in the preparatory phase (energy-requiring phase), while the second five steps occur in the energy-releasing phase.

The answer to this is glycolysis. If you are not familiar with what glycolysis is, this is a type of metabolic pathway that will convert glucose to pyruvate. Take note that glycolysis is normally the first type of breakdown of glucose to extract energy that will be needed so that glucose can be extracted for cellular metabolism. During glycolysis, one glucose molecule will be broken down into two different molecules.

There are different steps that will occur during this process and this will usually occur in animal cells, plant cells, and the different cells of the different microorganisms. One of the misconceptions of people is that this is used to make adenosine 5−triphosphate. This will only be used to make pyruvate.
