Aerobic: reqiures O2, produces CO2 +H2O
Anaerobic:in absence of O2, in plants ethanol and CO2is formed and in animals lactate is formed |

Term
| Describe what occurs during glycolysis |
|
Definition
1. Glucose is activated by phosphorylation
2. Phosphorylated glucose splits into 2 triose phosphates
3. triose phosphate is oxidised
4. 2 pyruvates = 2 molecules of ATP are formed |
