Explanation:

Glycolysis is the anaerobic breakdown of glucose to produce ATP. It occurs in the cytoplasm and does not require oxygen. The conversion of ADP to ATP using energy from creatine phosphate is a different energy - producing mechanism. Aerobic breakdown of glucose involves the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation and is not glycolysis.

Answer:

anaerobic breakdown of glucose to produce ATP
