Glycolysis is the common process between fermentation, anaerobic respiration, and aerobic respiration. It is the metabolic pathway that breaks down glucose into pyruvate, producing ATP in the process. The Krebs cycle and electron transport system are only present in aerobic respiration, while glycosylation is a process related to the modification of proteins and lipids.
