Description

Glycolysis is a metabolic pathway that converts glucose into pyruvate, producing ATP and NADH in the process. It is the first step in cellular respiration and occurs in the cytoplasm of cells.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that 'glucólisis' is a formal term used in clinical contexts. Colloquial variants may include 'metabolismo de la glucosa', but it is advisable to stick to 'glucólisis' in formal settings to avoid confusion with other metabolic processes.

Example Sentences

EN: The process of glycolysis is essential for energy production in cells.

ES: El proceso de glucólisis es esencial para la producción de energía en las células.

Common Interpreter Mistakes

Confusing glycolysis with gluconeogenesis; mispronouncing 'glucólisis' as 'glucolisis'; mixing up related metabolic pathways.
