Glycolysis is just the reaction sugar->pyruvate. It typically precedes/is part of either a full fermentation reaction(add another step for NADH-->NAD+, e.g. via pyruvate-->lactate) or oxidative phosphorylation (including the TCA). Glycolysis never requires oxygen in any cell type (as currently known). Ergo the phrase anaerobic glycolysis is a redundancy and the article has no additional information compared to fermentation, cellular respiration or glycolysis.

Recommend redirection to glycolysis article, same for phrase "aerobic glycolysis" (oddly that page doesn't exist at the moment).

Perhaps the terms for (an)aerobic glycolysis refer to the complete pathways including glycolysis in both the oxygen available and unavailable states of the cell. In which case anaerobic glycolysis is glucose -> lactate, and can be called fermentation, because NADH is oxidized to NAD+. By this same constraint glycolysis (glucose -> pyruvate) is not fermentation. Aerobic glycolysis should, based on reasoning and google results, refer to the common glycolysis + Krebs cycle + oxidative phosphorylation pathway, i.e. glucose -> ATP + CO2. In which case aerobic glycolysis can and should be called "aerobic respiration"--included in the article on cellular respiration. I hope it is clear why the 2 prolific terms (an)aerobic glyoclysis are redundant and do not require a page. At best a section/reference in the glycolysis article.Jayjiggunjer (talk) 10:28, 11 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Move unrelated content[edit]

Glycolysis is a reaction typically preceding either full fermentation (NADH back to NAD+ via pyr->lac) or the cellular respiration pathway. Glycolysis never requires oxygen (as currently known). Ergo the phrase anaerobic/aerobic glycolysis is a redundancy, unless it intentionally refers to the environment in which the glycolysis occurs.

Anaerobic glycolysis is just glycolysis that occurs in an environment without oxygen. It does not create lactate; the full anaerobic catabolism of glucose->lactate in our cells is done by fermentation, which includes glycolysis. While anaerobic glycolysis is common in cells during exercise, it is by no means unique to muscle cells, or humans for that matter.

So I suggest redirecting this title to glycolysis or fermentation articles. The actual content at the moment is more about lactate build-up and anaerobic performance (not really related to glycolysis), so possibly move content to anaerobic exercise article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.132.137.225 (talk) 05:12, 15 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

About the pH of the reaction[edit]

This article is not telling about the pH of the reaction. How does the pH meter show the progress of the reaction? Kaustav1729 (talk) 07:55, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
