What happens in glycolysis?

Sourav PanDecember 13, 2024

Answered

In glycolysis, glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate through a sequence of ten reactions. This pathway involves the phosphorylation of glucose, its splitting into two three-carbon molecules, and the oxidation of those molecules to generate ATP and NADH. Glycolysis is essential for energy production, especially when oxygen is scarce, as it provides a quick source of ATP.
