Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that glycolysis is a metabolic pathway that converts glucose into pyruvate, releasing energy in the form of ATP and NADH.
Recognize that glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell and is the first step in cellular respiration.
Identify the main stages of glycolysis: the energy investment phase and the energy payoff phase.
In the energy investment phase, glucose is phosphorylated and converted into two molecules of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate.
In the energy payoff phase, these molecules are further processed to produce two molecules of pyruvate, along with a net gain of ATP and NADH.
