The breakdown of glucose, particularly through glycolysis, the primary metabolic pathway for energy production.
From 'gluco-' (glucose) plus Greek 'lysis' (loosening, breaking apart); literally 'glucose breaking.'
Glucolysis is happening in every cell of your body right now—it's the ancient metabolic pathway that even bacteria use, and it's so efficient that life evolved to depend on it for billions of years!
