Glycolysis can occur under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. It produces 2 ATP molecules per molecule of glucose under anaerobic conditions and 3 ATP molecules per molecule of glucose under aerobic conditions. It also produces 2 molecules of NADH per molecule of glucose, which can be used later in the electron transport chain to produce more ATP under aerobic conditions.
