2 three carbon molecules, 1 ATP and 2 NADH
|
|
|
2 pyruvates, 2 ATP and 2 NADH

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: -The end products of glycolysis are 2 pyruvate molecules, 2 ATP molecules, and 2 NADH molecules. A pyruvate molecule is a 3-carbon molecule. The glycolysis will produce 2 pyruvate molecules since it starts with a 6-carbon molecule (which is glucose). The process will also produce 2 ATP molecules and 2 NADH molecules.
Detailed explanation-3: -NADH produces the following amount of ATP: Glycolysis: By oxidative phosphorylation, 2 NADH generates 6 ATP. Reaction to Transition: 2 NADH generates 6 ATP.
