Nadh and ATP
During glycolysis, two key energy-carrying molecules are produced: ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and NADH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide). Specifically, glycolysis generates a net gain of two ATP molecules per glucose molecule and produces two NADH molecules by reducing NAD+ during the conversion of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate to 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate. These molecules are critical for subsequent cellular processes, including energy production in the mitochondria.
During Glycolysis, Glucosemolecules are split into two pyruvates during a sequence of enzyme-controlled reactions. This occurs in both aerobic and anaerobic respiration.
One glucose molecule is converted to two pyruvate molecules during glycolysis.
4 molecules of ATP are produced per molecule of glucose in glycolysis, but 2 are needed (used, degraded, etc.) to start the reaction, so there is really only a net gain of 2 ATP in the process of glycolysis.
If 2 NADH molecules were produced in glycolysis, it means that 1 glucose molecule was broken down. Each glucose molecule yields 2 NADH molecules during glycolysis.
Nadh and ATP
Pyruvic acid is created 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.
Glucose
During glycolysis, the overall gain of ATP per glucose molecule is 2. While glycolysis produces 4 ATPs, it uses 2 ATPs in the process.

ATP molecules.
No, pyruvate is a molecule produced from the breakdown of glucose during glycolysis.
Glycolysis is the process during which glucose is broken in half, and produces pyruvic acid (3-carbon compound)
Yes. Pyruvate is a product of glycolysis. This molecule contains three carbons. For every molecule of glucose that enters the glycolytic pathway, two molecules of pyruvate are formed
