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.

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 …

Learn about glycolysis, the process of breaking down glucose to produce energy, with interactive lessons and practice problems on Khan Academy.

The first stage is glycolysis, where you're just literally splitting the glucose into two. You're generating some ATPs. But the more important thing is, you're generating some NADHs that …

If you look at the number of carbon atoms at the start and the end of glycolysis, the image below shows how it goes. What happened to the extra three carbon atoms of glucose in the process …

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 …
