During this process, glucose is oxidized, meaning it loses electrons, and energy is released in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). Show more…

During the process of glycolysis what happens to glucose? Where in a cell does this process take place? Is this process aerobic or anaerobic? How many pyruvic acids are produce? How many net ATP are generated?
Madhur L.
Glycolysis results in the partial oxidation of glucose to pyruvate. This means that: glucose donates electrons directly to NAD+ glucose combines with oxygen in the cytoplasm to get partially oxidized. glucose is broken down partially to ATP in the cytoplasm. glycolysis results in acetylCoA, not pyruvate the electron carriers donate electrons to proteins in the mitochondria that in turn produce ATP. in the process of the conversion of glucose to pyruvate, some potential energy is transferred to NADH and ATP.

The Krebs cycle produces oxygen and ATP ATP, NADH, FADH2, and CO2 NADH, FADH2, and oxygen carbon dioxide and oxygen pyruvate and PGAL
