Glycolysis
The first stage of cellular respiration where glucose is split into two three-carbon molecules known as pyruvate, producing ATP.
ATP
Adenosine triphosphate, a molecule that provides energy for cellular reactions.
NADH
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, a molecule that carries high-energy electrons to the electron transport chain.
Pyruvate
A three-carbon molecule produced during glycolysis.
Enzyme
A protein that catalyzes chemical reactions in the body.
Phosphorylation
The process of adding a phosphate group to a molecule.
Final results of Glycolysis
4 ATP, 2 NADH, 2 Pyruvate Molecules
