    GlossaryGlycolysis

    metabolic pathway breaking down glucose into energy and pyruvate

    Glycolysis is a metabolic pathway that breaks down glucose, a type of sugar, into pyruvate, producing energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). This process occurs in the cytoplasm of cells and is the first step in both aerobic and anaerobic respiration, making it essential for energy production in almost all living organisms.
