Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The term glycolysis consists of two words (glycos + lysis), glycos refers to glucose and lysis refers to breakdown. Glycolysis is a pathway in which 6-carbon glucose molecules break down into 3-carbon molecules and free energy is released. Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell. This is a metabolic pathway consisting of 10 steps.
