Glycolysis 490
➢ Glycolysis (from glycose, an older
term for glucose + -lysis
degradation) is the first step in
aerobic respiration that converts
glucose C6H12O6, into pyruvate.
➢The free energy released in this
process is used to form the high-
energy molecules ATP and NADH
(reduced nicotinamide adenine
dinucleotide)
