(N/A) Glycolysis is the process of breaking down one molecule of $Glucose$ $(6C)$ into two molecules of $Pyruvic$ $acid$ $(3C)$. The steps are as follows:
$1$. $Glucose$ is phosphorylated to $Glucose-6-phosphate$ using $ATP$.
$2$. $Glucose-6-phosphate$ is isomerized to $Fructose-6-phosphate$.
$3$. $Fructose-6-phosphate$ is phosphorylated to $Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate$ using $ATP$.
$4$. $Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate$ splits into two $3C$ molecules: $Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate$ $(PGAL)$ and $Dihydroxyacetone$ $phosphate$ $(DHAP)$,which are interconvertible.
$5$. $PGAL$ is oxidized and phosphorylated to form $1,3-bisphosphoglyceric$ $acid$ $(BPGA)$,reducing $NAD^+$ to $NADH + H^+$.
$6$. $BPGA$ is converted to $3-phosphoglyceric$ $acid$ $(PGA)$,producing $ATP$.
$7$. $3-phosphoglyceric$ $acid$ is converted to $2-phosphoglyceric$ $acid$.
$8$. $2-phosphoglyceric$ $acid$ loses a water molecule to form $Phosphoenolpyruvate$ $(PEP)$.
$9$. $PEP$ is converted to $Pyruvic$ $acid$,producing $ATP$.
