what is the difference between anaerobic and erobic glycolysis? And does the breaking down of glucose involve both steps or either steps?
And what is the whole point of glycolysis? Is it to release ATP which is a form of energy?

Anaerobic glycosis is the the use of carbs without using oxygen. And aerobic is the use of carbs with oxygen. The pathway for anaerobic is glycogen -> Glucose -> Pyruvic Acid -> lack of oxygen  into lactic acid.  It is to break the ATP which releases energy so the muscles can contract
