Glycolysis breaks glucose into

Glycolysis is a metabolic pathway that breaks down glucose into two molecules of pyruvate. During this process, glucose (a six-carbon sugar) undergoes a series of enzymatic reactions, resulting in the production of energy in the form of ATP and the reduction of NAD+ to NADH. Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm of cells and does not require oxygen, making it an anaerobic process.
