Explanation / Answer

1. The initial step in glycosis is the addition of two Phosphate to the Glucose molecule.

2. The result is a 6-carbon sugar diphosphate molecule and 2 low energy ADP molecules.

3. Each of the 3-carbon molecules is converted through a series of step to pyruvate.

4. Under aerobic conditions the pyruvate is further oxidized to yield more ATP. Under anaerobic conditions the pyruvate is converted into ATP.
