During glycolysis, glycolysis molecules are broken down to form …

Glycolysis is the process of “internal”, tissue respiration, which occurs in the cytoplasm of cells. During this process, one glucose molecule (monosararide) is split into two molecules of lactic acid (otherwise this compound is also called pyruvate), 2 ATP molecules (macroerg, which accumulates energy in its bonds) and water. Subsequently, the molecules of the formed lactic acid go for further processing, and as a result of oxygen respiration, 36 ATP molecules are already obtained. In other words, in the course of glycolysis, substrates are formed that are necessary for tissue respiration.
