Glycolysis is the process by which a molecule of glucose is oxidised (partially) to two molecules of pyruvate. Net reaction of glycolysis :
glucose+2NAD+ + 2ADP+ + 2Pi-->> 2 pyruvate+ 2NADH+ 2ATP+ 2H2O
Inputs: 1 molecule of glucose , 2NAD+ , 2ATP, 4 ADP, 2Pi
Outputs: 2 pyruvate, 4 ATP, 2 NADH, 2 ADP
By products : water molecule, 2 NADH , 2 ADP
Energy generation = 2 ATP
note that 2 ATP molecules are consumed and 4 are produced. So net 2 ATP molecules are formed.
