Incomplete oxidation of glucose into pyruvic acid with several intermediate steps is known as

1. TCA-pathway
2. glycolysis
3. HMS-pathway
4. Krebs cycle

Correct answer: glycolysis

Solution

Glycolysis is the process in which glucose is partially oxidized to pyruvic acid through a series of intermediate reactions. TCA/Krebs cycle occurs after pyruvate is further processed, while HMS is a different metabolic pathway.
