Janessa · Answer 1

Answer: Glycolysis is a metabolic process that breaks down carbohydrates and sugars through a series of reactions to either pyruvic acid or lactic acid and releases energy for the body in the form of ATP.

The products are formed from glycolysis of one molecule of glucose are Pyruvate, NADH and ATP

Explanation:

The dictionary meaning of glucose stands for 'splitting sugars'. Glycolysis is termed as a process of reducing the molecules of glucose (C6H12O6). In this process, a 6-carbon glucose is reduced to a 3-carbon sugar, known as pyruvate.

It is a multistep process which takes place in cell's cytoplasm, which yeilds two molecules of pyruvate, 2 ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) molecules, two molecules of NADH and two water molecules. The process can take place with or without oxygen.
