Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the overall glycolysis reaction: one molecule of glucose is converted into two molecules of pyruvate.
Recall that glycolysis consumes ATP and NAD+ as reactants and produces ATP and NADH as products, so focus on the inputs (reactants) rather than outputs.
List the primary reactants consumed in the net reaction: glucose, NAD+, ADP, and inorganic phosphate (Pi).
Remember that glycolysis uses 2 molecules of NAD+ and 2 molecules of ADP plus 2 inorganic phosphate groups per glucose molecule to generate energy and reducing equivalents.
Therefore, the correct set of primary reactants consumed in the net glycolysis reaction is: glucose + 2 NAD+ + 2 ADP + 2 Pi.
