Glycolysis itself is an anaerobic process, meaning it does not require oxygen to proceed. However, the NADH produced in glycolysis can be oxidized to NAD+ in the presence of oxygen through aerobic processes such as oxidative phosphorylation. In the absence of oxygen, cells rely on fermentation to regenerate NAD+ and continue glycolysis.
