Glucose metabolism begins with glycolysis and then proceeds to either the TCA (Krebs) cycle or fermentation. Glycolysis and fermentation are both anaerobic processes (they do not use oxygen) and use substrate level phosphorylation to produce ATP (e.g. energy), while the TCA cycle is aerobic (requires oxygen) and uses oxidative phosphorylation to produce ATP. Substrate level phosphorylation produces much less ATP than oxidative phosphorylation.
