释义

glycolysisn.

/ɡlʌɪˈkɒlɪsɪs/
Etymology: < glyco- comb. form + lysis n.
Biochemistry.
An important metabolic process, the initial pathway in cell respiration, in which sugar, sugar phosphates, or precursors of these are broken down by enzymic reactions releasing energy and yielding esp. pyruvic acid or lactic acid in animal tissues; by extension, used of similar processes in other organisms yielding different products, such as ethyl alcohol in fermentation. (Originally used of the disappearance of sugar from drawn blood.)
