Glycolysis

Glycolysis is the first step in a process known as cellular respiration. Glycolysis is the process of breaking down (-lysis) glucose (glyco-), a sugar molecule that provides energy in the human body. Glucose[1] is a polymer (made up of a chain of carbons) and therefore it takes multiple steps to break it down into usable energy. There are a total of ten steps in glycolysis. After the final step, the products of the broken down glucose molecule will enter the next step of cellular respiration.
