The word glycolysis is of Greek origin, where 'glykos' means sweet, and 'lysis' means splitting. ... Hence, Glycolysis literally means "sugar splitting" or "sugar breaking"; this accurately describes the process of glycolysis, in which a 6-carbon sugar molecule is broken down into two 3-carbon molecules. The main purpose of glycolysis is to provide pyruvate for the trichloroacetic acid (TCA) cycle, not to make adenosine 5′-triphosphate. The glycolytic production of pyruvate reduces the cytosol by increasing the ratio of NADH [a reduced form of NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide)] to NAD+.
