Definitions:

Glycolysis

The metabolic pathway that converts glucose into pyruvate, generating energy in the form of ATP.

Anaerobic Respiration

A form of respiration that occurs in the absence of oxygen, where energy is produced by the breakdown of glucose through processes such as fermentation.

Lactate

Lactate is a compound produced when glucose is broken down and oxidized under anaerobic conditions, playing a significant role in energy production during intense exercise.

Pyruvate

A key intermediate in several metabolic pathways, especially glycolysis, where glucose is broken down to produce energy.
