Glycolysis in full

1)Glucose is phosphorylated (using 2 ATP) to produce glucose phosphate -ATP hydrolase breaks down ATP to ADP and phosphate (Pi). -The phosphate is added to glucose to make it more reactive. 2) Glucose phosphate splits two form 2 molecules of triose phosphate. - glucose is a 6 carbon sugar and triose phosphate is a 3 carbon sugar. 3) Redox reactions occur. -Triose phosphate is oxidised (loses hydrogen) to form pyruvate. -NAD (co-enzyme) is reduced (gains hydrogen) 4) ATP is made by substrate level phosphorylation. The redox reactions release sufficient energy for the immediate formation of 4 ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate (Pi)
