Basics of Glycolysis

Glycolysis in Depth
1. During Gylcolysis, two ATP molecules are used to energize a glucose molecule. The glucose molecule is split into two three carbon molecules. A series of enzymes and chemical reactions rearranges the three carbon molecules.
2. Energized electrons from the three carbon molecules are transferred to NAD+ molecules, and form NADH molecules. Another series of reactions convert the three carbon molecules to pyruvate, which enters cellular respiration. This process also forms four ATP molecules.
