Yes, glycolysis is a catabolic process. It breaks down glucose, a six-carbon sugar, into two molecules of pyruvate (each containing three carbons). This breakdown releases energy, which is captured in the form of ATP and NADH. Catabolic processes are those that release energy by breaking down larger molecules.
