Detailed explanation-1: -The reactant is glucose and the products are molecule of pyruvate, 2 ATPs and 2 NADH.
Detailed explanation-2: -Glycolysis is divided into two categories: aerobic (chemical reactions that occur with the presence of oxygen) and anaerobic (chemical reactions that do not require oxygen). An example of anaerobic glycolysis is fermentation. Glucose is the reactant; while ATP and NADH are the products of the Glycolysis reaction.
Detailed explanation-3: -The overall reaction for glycolysis is: glucose (6C) + 2 NAD+ 2 ADP +2 inorganic phosphates (Pi) yields 2 pyruvate (3C) + 2 NADH + 2 H+ + 2 net ATP. Glycolysis does not require oxygen and can occur under aerobic and anaerobic conditions.
Detailed explanation-4: -During photosynthesis, light energy converts carbon dioxide and water (the reactants) into glucose and oxygen (the products).
Detailed explanation-5: -Glycolysis starts with glucose and ends with two pyruvate molecules, a total of four ATP molecules and two molecules of NADH.
