Answer

Glycolysis happes in the cell's cytoplasm. First there is sugar activation then sugar clevage and finally oxidation and the formation of ATP. Sugar activation like glucose is a phophorylated and is converted to fructose and then phosphorlated again to make fructose 1, 6 biphosphate and consuming 2 molecules of ATP. The reactions provide activation energy for other upcoming events of glycolysis. Sugar clevage fructose 1 6 biphosphate. During oxidation and ATP formation the 3 carbon molecule become oxidzed by the removal of H+. The inorganic groups are attached to the oxidized fragments by bonds that have large amounts of energy. They are cut off and capturing enough energu to create 4 ATP. Finally glycolysis ends with 2 pyruvic acid, 2 reducd NAD, and a total net gain of 2 ATP for each glucose molecule.
