Glycolysis is what breaks down the simple sugar glucose we get from eating carbs. This process happens in a cells cytoplasm.

Example - A cross country athlete practices by constantly running which makes their muscles constantly need energy because of the breaking down of glucose.

It uses CO2,ATP, and NADPH which produces G3P. This is a 3 carbon sugar that is used to create glucose.

How is this cycle used in everyday life? The Calvin cycle powers the production of mostly all foods and materials consumed by humans.
