1. Glycolysis
   Reactions of the Embden-Meyerhof pathway in which glucose is oxidised to pyruvate.

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.

3. 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

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.

8. 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.

9. 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 ... ...

10. 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...

12. glycolysis
    (gli;kol;u1-sis) The metabolic pathway that converts glucose to pyruvic acid; the final products are two molecules of pyruvic acid and two molecules of reduced NAD, with a net gain of two ATP molecules.

14. glycolysis
    A process in which glucose (sugar) is partially broken down by cells in enzyme reactions that do not need oxygen. Glycolysis is one method that cells use to produce energy. When glycolysis is linked with other enzyme reactions that use oxygen, more complete breakdown of glucose is possible and more energy is produced.
