Detailed explanation-1: -Glycolysis is the process of breaking down glucose. Glycolysis can take place with or without oxygen. Glycolysis produces two molecules of pyruvate, two molecules of ATP, two molecules of NADH, and two molecules of water.
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.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Fermentation then continually uses the ATP from glycolysis and turns it into 2 Pyruvate, by using 2NAD+ and turning it into 2 NADH and 2 H+ and the energy from the ATP, forming Lactic acid ( which is why a muscles fell stiff after exercising).
