Question

Explain glycolysis in 6-7 short points

Answer 1

Answer:

Glycolysis literally means "splitting sugars" and is the process of releasing energy within sugars. In glycolysis, glucose (a six-carbon sugar) is split into two molecules of the three-carbon sugar pyruvate. This multistep process yields two molecules of ATP (free energy containing molecule), two molecules of pyruvate, and two "high energy" electron carrying molecules of NADH.
