Answered step-by-step

Several substances can inhibit glycolysis. For instance, sodium fluoride (NaF) can prevent glycolysis by inhibiting the enzyme enolase, which is essential for the conversion of 2-phosphoglycerate to phosphoenolpyruvate. Other metabolic inhibitors or alterations in cellular conditions (like low pH or oxygen) can also inhibit glycolysis.
