glycolysis

noun

• The process of loading the electrons into the trucks is called glycolysis.
  — James Somers, The New Yorker, 25 Oct. 2022

• There is also glycolysis, in which glucose is broken down to produce energy.
  — Diana Gitig, Ars Technica, 21 Nov. 2018
• White muscles use a process called glycolysis, which requires carbohydrates to create ATP.
  — Joshua Selsby, CNN, 27 Nov. 2019
• Alkaline solutions led to the creation of pentose phosphate, an initial step in the production of amino acids, while neutral pH levels stimulated glycolysis, part of the process that forms ATP.
  — Nathaniel Scharping, Discover Magazine, 26 Jan. 2016
