Detailed explanation-1: -adenosine triphosphate (ATP), energy-carrying molecule found in the cells of all living things. ATP captures chemical energy obtained from the breakdown of food molecules and releases it to fuel other cellular processes.
Detailed explanation-2: -At the end of glycolysis, the following reactions have occurred: Glucose (6C) has been broken down into two molecules of pyruvate (3C) Two hydrogen carriers have been reduced via oxidation (2 × NADH + H +) A net total of two ATP molecules have been produced (4 molecules were generated, but 2 were used)
Detailed explanation-3: -Oxidation is the removal of one or more electrons from a substrate. Protons (H+) are often removed with the electrons.
Detailed explanation-4: -The process of forming ATP from the electron transport chain is known as oxidative phosphorylation. Electrons carried by NADH + H+ and FADH2 are transferred to oxygen via a series of electron carriers, and ATPs are formed. Three ATPs are formed from each NADH + H+, and two ATPs are formed for each FADH2 in eukaryotes.
