Answer:

Major Steps of Glycolysis:

Glycolysis involves a sequence of steps that can be grouped into three important reactions: phosphorylation of glucose, splitting of the six-carbon molecule into two three-carbon molecules, and the energy harvesting reactions.

Answer and Explanation: 1

The products of Glycolysis are as follows:

Pyruvic Acid

Two molecules of NADH (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide)

Two molecules of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)

Although 4 ATP are produced, 2 ATP are spent during phosphorylation of glucose (conversion of glucose to fructose 1,6-bisphosphate), thus, there is a net gain of only 2 ATP molecules.
