MUSCLE PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Glycolysis is a series of reactions that occurs when glucose molecules split into two 3-carbon molecules known as pyruvates, which then release energy in the form of ATP. Starting material for glycolysis is glucose.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Glucose is first converted to fructose-1, 6-bisphosphate in a series of steps that use up two ATP.
