Glycolysis (which is also known as the glycolytic pathway or the Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas pathway) is a sequence of 10 chemical reactionstaking place in most cells that breaks down a glucose molecule into two pyruvate (pyruvic acid) molecules.

In glycolysis, the glucose is converted to glucose-6- phosphate and NAD is reduced to NADH and ATP is broken down into ADP + phosphate group. 2 units of 3 carbon molecule pyruvate is then formed.

Food degradation converts energy from chemical bonds into ATP, which powers cellular processes. In eukaryotic cells, enzymes for respiration are located in mitochondria, while in microorganisms, they are part of the cell membrane. Liver cells have around 1,000 mitochondria, while some large egg cells may have up to 200,000
