2 ATPs are used to break Glucose down into two molecules of pyruvate. And 2 NAD+ become NADH and 4 ATP are produced. Giving you a net product of 2 NADH and 2 ATPs and 2 molecules of pyruvate.
NAD is reduced to NADH during glycolysis.
During glycolysis, the net gain of ATP for the cell is 2 molecules of ATP.
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is capable of being reduced during either glycolysis or the Krebs cycle. It accepts electrons and a hydrogen ion to form NADH, which carries these high-energy electrons to the electron transport chain for ATP production.
Glucose is first converted to pyruvic acid in a process called glycolysis. During glycolysis, glucose molecules are broken down into two molecules of pyruvic acid, producing a small amount of ATP and NADH as energy intermediates. This process occurs in the cytoplasm of cells and is the first step in both aerobic and anaerobic respiration.
During glycolysis, the overall gain of ATP per glucose molecule is 2. While glycolysis produces 4 ATPs, it uses 2 ATPs in the process.

If glycolysis could not happen in a cell, the cell would not produce ATP molecules.
NAD is reduced to NADH during glycolysis.
Actually glucose is what sugar turns in to during glycolysis.
NAD+ carries hydrogen and, more importantly, an electron during glycolysis.
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.
During glycolysis, the net gain of ATP for the cell is 2 molecules of ATP.
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is capable of being reduced during either glycolysis or the Krebs cycle. It accepts electrons and a hydrogen ion to form NADH, which carries these high-energy electrons to the electron transport chain for ATP production.
Glycolysis primarily relies on the chemical energy stored in glucose molecules. During glycolysis, the process breaks down glucose into smaller molecules like pyruvate, generating ATP (adenosine triphosphate) as a source of energy for the cell. This initial investment of chemical energy from glucose helps drive the subsequent steps in glycolysis.
In the absence of oxygen during glycolysis, pyruvate is converted into lactate through a process called fermentation. This allows glycolysis to continue generating ATP in the absence of oxygen by regenerating NAD+ from NADH, which is needed for glycolysis to proceed.
Pyruvic acid is made during glycolysis and is later used in fermentation.
