Explanation:

Glycolysis is the first - stage of cellular respiration that can occur without oxygen. It is an anaerobic process that breaks down glucose into pyruvate and produces a small amount of ATP and NADH. Whether oxygen is present or not, glycolysis can proceed. The availability of glucose does not determine if it is aerobic or anaerobic; rather, oxygen availability affects what happens to the pyruvate produced after glycolysis.

Answer:

anaerobic
