The reaction of glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm and do not require the presence of oxygen. The conversion of one molecule of glucose to two molecules of pyruvate results in a net gain of two ATP and two NADH molecules. 2 NADH produces 6 ATP (3 ATP per NADH molecule). Thus, glycolysis yields total 8 ATP. The kerb’s cycle is far more efficient in the release of energy than are either glycolysis or fermentation. The reactions of the kreb’s cycle require the presence of oxygen and are confined to the mitochondria. Total ATP produced during krebs cycle is 24.
