Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -In glycolysis, one molecule of glucose (C6H12O6) forms two molecules of pyruvic acid (CH3COCOOH).
Detailed explanation-2: -1: Glycolysis produces 2 ATP, 2 NADH, and 2 pyruvate molecules: Glycolysis, or the aerobic catabolic breakdown of glucose, produces energy in the form of ATP, NADH, and pyruvate, which itself enters the citric acid cycle to produce more energy.
