Glycolysis

• Where does it happen

  the cytoplasm of cells
• What is the result of it

  2 molecules of pyruvate each containing 3 molecules of carbon
• What is phosphorylation

  The addition of phosphate to a molecule
• When 2 molecules of ATP are hydrolysed glucose is phosphorylated into hexose biphosphate which is split to give 2 molecules of triosphosphate (TP)
• Oxidation results in 2 molecules of the reduced coenzyme NAD and 4 molecules of ATP
• Overall during glycolysis the net gain of ATP is two molecules
