Catabolism

All of the decomposition reactions that occur in the body; releases energy.

Glycolysis

A metabolic process that breaks down glucose to produce energy in the form of ATP.

Pyruvate

Pyruvate is a key intermediate in several metabolic pathways, including glycolysis, where it can be converted into acetyl-CoA for entry into the Krebs cycle or used for gluconeogenesis.

Anaerobic Respiration

Breakdown of glucose in the absence of oxygen to produce lactic acid and two ATPs; consists of glycolysis and the reduction of pyruvic acid to lactic acid.
