Coenzyme A

Explanation:
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). The hydroxyl groups allow for phosphorylation. The specific form of glucose used in glycolysis is glucose 6-phosphate.
Detailed explanation-2: -Glycolysis is the method of the breakdown of glucose into pyruvate. In this method, the glucose molecule undergoes partial oxidation and forms 2 molecules of pyruvate and a pair of ATP. It happens inside the cytoplasm of the cell.
