Glucose
Pyruvic acid, also called pyruvate, is produced during glycolysis when the glucose molecule is split.
During Glycolysis, Glucosemolecules are split into two pyruvates during a sequence of enzyme-controlled reactions. This occurs in both aerobic and anaerobic respiration.
NAD+ is the molecule that is regenerated for glycolysis during fermentation. NAD+ is essential for glycolysis to continue in the absence of oxygen by accepting electrons from glucose breakdown.
The 3-carbon molecule produced when glucose is broken in half in glycolysis is pyruvic acid. It gives energy to living cells through the Krebs cycle.
During glycolysis, ATP is both consumed and produced. Two molecules of ATP are consumed in the initial steps of glycolysis to activate the glucose molecule. However, four molecules of ATP are then produced during the later steps, resulting in a net gain of two ATP molecules per glucose molecule metabolized.
During glycolysis, the overall gain of ATP per glucose molecule is 2. While glycolysis produces 4 ATPs, it uses 2 ATPs in the process.
