Glycolysis:

1. Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway involving 10 steps where there is the conversion of glucose into lactic acid.
2. The cytoplasm is the place where glycolysis occurs in every living organism.
3. This is the primary step in cellular respiration.
4. The input involved in glycolysis is two ATP (Adenosine triphosphate), two NAD+ and one glucose.
5. The output involved in glycolysis is four ATP, two NADH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide hydrogen) and two pyruvate molecules.
