What are some examples of glycolysis?

Glycolysis occurs in the cytosol. Glucose is a 6-carbon sugar, and pyruvate is a 3-carbon molecule. Glycolysis consists of 10 steps. Glycolysis consists of 2 phases: an energy investment phase (in which 2 ATP are consumed to get things going), and an energy recovery phase (in which 4 ATP are produced). From the above, glycolysis produces 4 ATP but consumes 2 ATP, so glycolysis produces 2 net ATP. read more

Yeast cells have glycolysis. In all cells glycolysis takes place in cytoplasm. Human red blood cells have no mitochondria. In red cells only glycolysis is the metabolism. read more

Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm and it generates some NADH from NAD +. The NAD + is an obligatory substrate for the reaction of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate to 1,3-diphosphoglycerate. If NAD + is not regenerated, glycolysis will halt. read more
