Kymani Rice · Answer 1

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.

Brenden Ferrell · Answer 2

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.
