Yes, glycolysis is anaerobic. It does not require oxygen to proceed. The pathway can function in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions, though its end products and further metabolism differ depending on the presence of oxygen. In the absence of oxygen, glycolysis can proceed with fermentation pathways to regenerate NAD+ for continued ATP production.
