In cellular respiration, glucose is oxidized into pyruvate.
Glucose is oxidized to generate two molecules of pyruvate in the process of glycolysis. During glycolysis, ATP is produced through substrate-level phosphorylation and NADH is generated by oxidizing NAD^+.
NAD is reduced to NADH during glycolysis.

Glycolysis is a 10 step enzymatically catalyzed reaction which splits up a glucose molecule into two molecules of pyruvate. The process of glycolysis can occur in absence of oxygen. A net yield of 2 ATP is obtained at the end of gylcolysis for every molecule of glucose oxidized.
During glycolysis, the overall gain of ATP per glucose molecule is 2. While glycolysis produces 4 ATPs, it uses 2 ATPs in the process.

Actually glucose is what sugar turns in to during glycolysis.
Glucose is. In cell respiration, the carbon atoms of glucose are oxidized.
Glucose is. In cell respiration, the carbon atoms of glucose are oxidized.
Glucose
Both, as glucose is being reduced and at least two ATP are being oxidized.
During the process of glycolysis, glucose is turned into two molecules of pyruvic acid. Glucose is a sugar that is an energy source important to living organisms.
Glycolysis is the process during which glucose is broken in half, and produces pyruvic acid (3-carbon compound)
Initially, the energy to break down glucose during glycolysis is provided by the hydrolysis of ATP to ADP and inorganic phosphate. This reaction releases energy that drives the early steps of glycolysis.
Organisms that ferment have a greatly increased rate of glycolysis because fermentation is an anaerobic process that allows for the regeneration of NAD+ required for glycolysis to continue in the absence of oxygen. By increasing the rate of glycolysis, these organisms can rapidly produce energy (ATP) for survival under anaerobic conditions.
The enzymes of glycolysis catalyze the splitting of glucose, a six carbon sugar, into two three carbon sugars. These are then oxidized and their atoms rearrangged to form two molecules of pyruvic acid
