The series of chemical reactions that occur inside the living body are collectively referred to as the metabolism. It is an important process for the production of energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate or ATP. Glycolysis is one of the main metabolic pathways that occur aerobically and anaerobically both of that's why known as a universal pathway. It occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell.
