Explanation:
Glycolysis is the process of breakdown of glucose or similar hexose sugar into two molecules of pyruvic acid through a series of enzyme mediated reactions, releasing energy (ATP) and reducing power (NADH
2
). It is the first step of respiration, which occurs inside the cytoplasm and is independent of O
2
. In glycolysis, two molecules of ATP are consumed during double phosphorylation of glucose to form fructose 1,6 diphosphate. Four molecules of ATP are produced in the conversion of 1,3-diphosphoglycerate to 3-phosphoglycerate and phosphoenolpyruvate to pyruvate whereas, two molecules of NADH
2
are formed during oxidation of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate to 1,3-diphosphoglycerate. Since, each NADH is equivalent to 3 ATP, so net gain in glycolysis is 8 ATP.
