2 ATP molecules are invested during glycolysis per each glucose molecule that is being metabolized. The first ATP molecule intervenes in the very first step, that is: from glucose to glucose 6-phosphate, catalyzed by a hexokinase, releasing an ADP molecule. The second ATP molecule is used in the third step: from fructose 6 phosphate to fructose 1,6-bisphosphate, catalyzed by a phosphofructokinase, and releasing also an ADP molecule.
As glycolysis begins, two ATP are used to activate glucose, a C(subscript)6 molecule that splits into two C(subscript)3 molecule known as G3P. For more info, see the Related Link below.
Nadh and ATP
Glycolysis results in a net gain of 2 ATP. Aerobic respiration results in 36 - 38 ATP.
Glycolysis. In fermentation, glycolysis is the primary means by which energy is created. In cellular respiration, glycolysis creates pyruvic acid, which then enters the mitochondria and is further processed to create more ATP. Note, glycolysis is not a very efficient means of creating ATP (the primary source of energy in cells). Glycolysis only creates two ATP, while cellular respiration can create as much as 38.
NADH and ATP
It provides energy (ATP).
break glucose into two molecules
This is a very broad question so I will give a broad answer. In cellular respiration, ATP is required to start the glycolysis process. The beginning of glycolysis is an endergonic process that requires an input of energy in the form of ATP. For every glucose molecule invested in addition to the two ATP, you get a total of approximately 34-36 ATP in the end after glycolysis and TCA cycle.
2 ATP and 2 NADH
2 ATP are needed.
The energy of ATP is itself used to start glycolysis. This may be considered odd, since glycolysis is used to create ATP.
Glycolysis cannot begin without two ATP molecules to start the process. Glycolysis yields 4 ATP molecules. Therefore, since 2 ATP molecules had been used up prior to the creation of the 4 ATP molecules, glycolysis has a net gain of 2 ATP molecules.

Even though glycolysis is an energy-releasing process, the cell needs to put in a little energy to get things going. At the pathway's beginning, 2 molecules of ATP are used up.Although the cell puts 2 ATP molecules into its account to get glycolysis going, when glycolysis is complete, 4 ATP molecules have been produced. This gives the cell a net gain of 2 ATP molecules. The product of glycolysis is two pyruvate molecules which can then be broken down further for greater net energy gain. In animal cells, in the presence of oxygen, as much as 32 additional ATP can be generated
