Explain how glycolytic catabolism (anaerobic catabolism) and oxidative catabolism (aerobic catabolism) differ

What will be an ideal response?


Glycolytic catabolism is known as anaerobic catabolism because the reactions occur in the absence of oxygen. The process of glycolysis involves glycolytic catabolism. Oxidative catabolism is known as aerobic catabolism because these reactions do require oxygen. During oxidative catabolism, or cellular respiration, cells consume oxygen and produce carbon dioxide and water.
