Glycolysis works by breaking down one molecule of glucose (a six-carbon sugar) into two molecules of pyruvate (three carbons each). This process involves ten enzyme-catalyzed reactions that include phosphorylation, isomerization, and cleavage. Energy is released in the form of ATP and NADH during specific steps. Glycolysis can occur under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions, providing ATP to the cell.
