Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that converts glucoseC6H12O6, into pyruvate, CH3COCOO− + H+. The free energy released in this process is used to form the high-energy compounds ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and NADH (reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide).

Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that breaks down glucose into pyruvate, generating a small amount of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and NADH. It occurs in the cytoplasm of cells and serves as the starting point for both aerobic and anaerobic respiration.
