Glycolysis, Pyruvate Oxidation and the Krebs Cycle Glycolysis, the process of splitting a six-carbon glucose molecule into two three-carbon pyruvate molecules, is linked to the Krebs cycle.

Cycle,” writes Lam, a biochemistry undergrad at uOttawa. “I decided to also add a little glycolysis in here as well, just because I figured that it worked well.” Anyone who’s grappled with ...

In addition to glycolysis, scientists have re-created parts of other fundamental cellular processes, including the reverse citric acid cycle, or the reverse Krebs cycle, which is believed to have ...

which leaves pyruvate (the penultimate chemical product of glycolysis) standing alone at the altar—the entrance to the Krebs cycle. Left alone without oxygen, pyruvate is converted into lactate.
