Aerobic glycolysis refers to the process where glycolysis is followed by aerobic respiration, which includes the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation in the mitochondria. The pyruvate produced in glycolysis is converted into acetyl-CoA and enters the citric acid cycle, generating much more ATP (via oxidative phosphorylation) compared to glycolysis alone. It is the predominant pathway in oxygen-rich environments.
