Question
Explain glycolysis in detail.

Answer

(i) Process of glycolysis occurs in cytoplasm.
(ii) A molecule of glucose is oxidized step by step in the process and two molecules of each i.e. pyruvic acid, ATP, NADH<sub>2</sub> and water are formed.
(iii) Molecules of pyruvic acid formed in this process are converted into molecules of Acetyl - Coenzyme A.
(iv) Two molecules of NADH<sub>2</sub>and two molecules of CO<sub>2</sub> are released during this process.
