2. 
   Glycolysis
   the breakdown of glucose in series of metabolic steps. Energy in the form of ATP is released even if there is no oxygen available as in anaerobic respiration . In the presence of oxygen as in aerobic respiration the breakdown is more complete and yields more energy.

   glycolysis
   [n] - a metabolic process that breaks down carbohydrates and sugars through a series of reactions to either pyruvic acid or lactic acid and release energy for the body in the form of ATP

4. 
   Glycolysis
   The first stages of cellular respiration occurring with or without the presence of oxygen, in which glucose is converted to two molecules of pyruvic acid.

6. 
   glycolysis
   The conversion of a monosaccharide (generally glucose) to pyruvate via the glycolytic pathway (ie. the Embden-Meyerhof pathway) in the cytosol. Generates ATP without consuming oxygen and is thus anaerobic.

   Glycolysis
   `Glycolysis` is the sequence of reactions that converts glucose into pyruvate with the concomitant production of a relatively small amount of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The word is derived from Greek `γλÃ?...κÃ?Â?Ã?‚` (sweet) and `λÃ?Â?Ã?ƒιÃ?‚` (letting loose). It is the initial process of most carbohydrate catabolism, and it serves three principal functions: #The generation of high-energy molecules (ATP and NADH) as cellular energy sources as par...

   glycolysis
   (gli-kol´ә-sis) the anaerobic enzymatic conversion of glucose to simpler compounds such as lactate or pyruvate, resulting in energy stored in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), as occurs in muscle. adj., glycolyt´ic., adj.

    glycolysis
    (from the article `metabolism`) The transformation of glucose. Quantitatively, the most important source of energy for cellular processes is the six-carbon sugar glucose (C6H12O6). ... The formation of ATP is the reverse of this equation, requiring the addition of energy. The central cellular pathway of ATP synthesis begins with ... ...

11. 
    glycolysis
    The energy-yielding conversion of d-glucose to lactic acid (instead of pyruvate oxidation products) in various tissues, notably muscle, when sufficient oxygen is not available (as in an emergency situation); since molecular oxygen is not consumed in the process, this is frequently referred to as “anaerobic glycolysis” Cf. Embden-Meyerhof-...

    glycolysis
    A metabolic process that transforms glucose into pyruvic acid or lactic acid in the muscles (or other tissues), for energy production, in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). Glycolysis, also called anaerobic metabolism, takes place when insufficient oxygen is available in an emergency situat...

    glycolysis
    glycolysis (glīkol'isis) , term given to the metabolic pathway utilized by most microorganisms (yeast and bacteria) and by all “higher” animals (including humans) for the degradation of glucose. Glycolysis means, literally, the dissolution of sugar. The process is a series of c...
