Detailed explanation-1: -Glycolysis is a multi-step process that takes place in the cytoplasm, in which glucose (a six carbon sugar) is split into two molecules of the three-carbon sugar pyruvic acid, with the generation of two molecules of ATP and two “high energy” electron carrying molecules of NADH.

Detailed explanation-2: -The finished product of glycolysis is pyruvate. During this process, one molecule of glucose is converted into two molecules of pyruvate.

Detailed explanation-3: -All told, the Krebs cycle forms (per two molecules of pyruvic acid) two ATP molecules, ten NADH molecules, and two FADH2 molecules. The NADH and the FADH2 will be used in the electron transport system.

Detailed explanation-4: -Through the process of glycolysis, one molecule of glucose breaks down to form two molecules of pyruvate.

Detailed explanation-5: -If we consider the two pyruvates that enter from glycolysis (for each glucose molecule), we can summarize pyruvate oxidation as follows: Two molecules of pyruvate are converted into two molecules of acetyl CoAstart text, C, o, A, end text.
