Glycolysis

• Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm
• In glycolysis, glucose is phosphorylated into glucose phosphate using 2ATP, which is then split into 2x TP
• In glycolysis, TP is oxidised, losing 2 hydrogen atoms, reducing NAD and generating 2 ATP due to phosphorylation
• The oxidised TP in glycolysis is converted into pyruvate producing 2 ATP due to phosphorylation
• Glycolysis has a net gain of 2x Reduced NAD + 2x ATP
