Answer 1

Glycolysis:

1. Glycolysis is the first process of cellular respiration.
2. This reaction that takes place in the cytoplasm.
3. In this process, glucose act as reactant and 2 molecules of pyruvic acid is formed.
4. This process includes a 10 step reaction and is catalyzed by different enzymes.
5. ATP and NADH₂ are also produced in this reaction.
6. So, ATP is not a reactant of glycolysis but a product.
