The option that best summarizes glycolysis is:
anaerobic; 6-carbon glucose forms two 3-carbon pyruvates; forms a net total of 2 ATP
This is the correct summary as glycolysis occurs in the absence of oxygen (anaerobic) and converts one molecule of glucose (6-carbon) into two molecules of pyruvate (3-carbon), with a net gain of 2 ATP molecules.
