Glycolysis
Glycolysis is the process by which one molecule of glucose is converted into two molecules of pyruvate, two hydrogen ions and two molecules of water. Through this process, the 'high energy' molecules of ATP and NADH are synthesised. The pyruvate molecules then proceed to the link reaction, where acetyl-CoA is produced.
