Pyruvate is produced by glycolysis in the cytoplasm, but pyruvate oxidation takes place in the mitochondrial matrix (in eukaryotes). So, before the chemical reactions can begin, pyruvate …

Glycolysis is the first step in the breakdown of glucose to extract energy for cellular metabolism. Glycolysis consists of an energy-requiring phase followed by an energy-releasing phase.

Learn about glycolysis, the process of breaking down glucose to produce energy, with interactive lessons and practice problems on Khan Academy.

Explore the process of glycolysis, a key step in cellular respiration, and understand how cells convert glucose into energy.

If you look at the number of carbon atoms at the start and the end of glycolysis, the image below shows how it goes. What happened to the extra three carbon atoms of glucose in the process …

The first stage is glycolysis, where you're just literally splitting the glucose into two. You're generating some ATPs. But the more important thing is, you're generating some NADHs that …
