Detailed explanation-1: -During glycolysis, glucose ultimately breaks down into pyruvate and energy; a total of 2 ATP is derived in the process (Glucose + 2 NAD+ + 2 ADP + 2 Pi–> 2 Pyruvate + 2 NADH + 2 H+ + 2 ATP + 2 H2O).
Detailed explanation-2: -Glycosis a process by which glucose(6C compound) is split into two molecules of pyruvic acid(3C compound). This process is also called the EMP pathway and occurs in the cytoplasm. In this process (Adenosine triphosphate) and 2 NADH 2 (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) are formed and are consumed in the hexose phase.
Detailed explanation-3: -Glycolysis was given by Gustav Embden, Otto Meyerhof, and J. Parnas, and is often referred to as the EMP pathway. It occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell and is present in all living organisms. In this process, glucose undergoes partial oxidation to form two molecules of pyruvic acid.
