Glycolysis is a process that happens in our cells to break down glucose, which is a type of sugar made of six carbon atoms. During this process, glucose splits into two smaller molecules called pyruvate, each with three carbon atoms. While this happens, our bodies release energy, and some of that energy is stored in molecules called ATP, which cells use for power.

Glycolysis is how our cells break down glucose, which is a sugar made of six carbon atoms. During this process, glucose splits into two smaller molecules called pyruvate, and each of these has three carbon atoms. While this splitting happens, our bodies release energy, and they store some of that energy in special molecules called ATP. Cells use ATP like a battery for power!
