Question

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate is a three-carbon molecule. For each molecule of glucose, two glyceraldehyde-3-phosphates are created in glycolysis before any of the NADH and ATP molecules are made, but after the two ATP molecules have been 'spent' preparing glucose for glycolysis. Each glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate is converted into 1 molecule of pyruvate. How many NADH and ATP molecules would be produced in converting glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate to pyruvate?
