In the 1st phase glucose is broken down without O2 to Pyruvic acid in a series of reactions in a process known as glycolysis. If O2 is not present the pryruvic acid is broken down partially to lactic acid in animals or ethanol + CO2 in plants. In glycolysis 1 molecule of glucose yield 2 molecules of RATP.
