Glycolysis - (pronounced) (gly-KAH-lih-sis) A process in which glucose (sugar) is partially broken down by cells in enzymatic reactions that do not require oxygen. Glycolysis is a method by which cells produce energy. When glycolysis is coupled with other enzymatic reactions that use oxygen, a more complete breakdown of glucose is possible and more energy is produced
