Glycolysis is the first step in the breakdown of glucose to extract energy for cellular metabolism. Glycolysis consists of an energy-requiring phase followed by an energy-releasing phase.

Now that we have a very high-level overview of glycolysis, let's get a better appreciation for exactly what's going on. And whenever I look at these more detailed processes, the one thing to just …

Cellular respiration is a metabolic pathway that breaks down glucose and produces ATP. The stages of cellular respiration include glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, the citric acid or Krebs cycle, and oxidative …

Test your knowledge on the process of glycolysis!

Let's explore the process of glycolysis, the first phase of cellular respiration. Learn how this process breaks down glucose into two 3-carbon compounds, using two ATPs in the investment phase and …

In summary, glycolysis begins to break down glucose and releases energy, which is stored in ATP and NADH. Then, in the citric acid cycle, pyruvic acid is broken down to produce carbon dioxide, ATP, …

Glycolysis, where the simple sugar glucose is broken down, occurs in the cytosol. Pyruvate, the product from glycolysis, is transformed into acetyl CoA in the mitochondria for the next step.

We have videos on fermentation, lactic acid fermentation, alcohol fermentation, and fermentation is all about using the pyruvates to oxidize your NADH back into NAD, so it could be re-used again, for …
