Glycolysis
Glycolysis is the most fundamental stage of cellular respiration because it is the first step in cellular respiration, regardless of the type it is all cells are able to do cellular respiration and carry out Glycolysis. Note that Glycolysis itself is anaerobic, in that oxygen is not required, because it is billions of years old and evolved in ancient days. This was before O2 accumulated in the seas. The overall main point of cellular respiration is to harvest electrons from organic compounds such as glucose and use that energy to make a molecule called ATP. Glycolysis is the only step in cellular respiration that requires ATP to make ATP. This process happens in the cytoplasm because it doesn't need organelles. In Glycolysis of
two ATPS to the glucose that we started with the
product is cleaved into two G3Ps. From this the cells than harvests NADH and ATPs. The anaerobic pathway is respiration’s first phase according to Glycolysis video music rap by science music videos.
