Blog 7: Glycolysis

Glycolysis is the fundamental stage of cellular respiration because it is the most fastest energy maker to every living organism. They are anaerobic and they do not require oxygen which is a good thing so they don't need the need to do their stuff. The first part of cellular respiration is glycolysis. Glycolysis is anaerobic and they occur in the cytoplasm. It breaks down glucose into 3 carbon molecules called pyruvic acid. It produces 2 NADPH and 2 ATP. Why it takes place in the cytoplasm? It takes place in the cytoplasm because is where all the chemical reaction takes place.
