Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Glycolysis. Six-carbon glucose is converted into two pyruvates (three carbons each). ATP and NADH are made.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cellular respiration is a metabolic pathway that uses glucose to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP), an organic compound the body can use for energy. One molecule of glucose can produce a net of 30-32 ATP.
Detailed explanation-3: -So, the formation of ATP is called Oxidative phosphorylation.
Detailed explanation-4: -Glucose is converted into ATP by cellular respiration. One molecule of glucose produces 38 ATP molecules by aerobic respiration in the cytoplasm and mitochondria.
