Biochemical process during which glucose is oxidised |
|
Answer» Glycolysis, the initial stage of glucose metabolism, takes place in the cytosol and does not involve MOLECULAR O2. It produces a small amount of ATP and the three-carbon compound pyruvate. In aerobic cells, pyruvate FORMED in glycolysis is transported into the mitochondria, where it is OXIDIZED by O2 to CO2. |
