- - - - one molecule of sugar breaks
        into two pyruvates
        
        In the cytoplasm occurs the phosphorylation, which consists on adding two phosphates to the sugar molecule. This process uses ATP. And the sugar molecule finishes splitting into a compund of 3C.
        
        After this, oxidation happens which consists of loosing electrons , in this case the 3 C looses 2 electrons.
        
        FOR EACH MOLECULE OF GLUCOSE BROKEN DOWN TO TWO PYRUVATES, TWO MOLECULES OF ATP ARE FORMED
        
        ATP is formed in an ENDERGONIC REACTION from ADP and Pi
        
        2 NADH are also formed
        
        Each molecule of pyruvate goes into the mitochondrion and in its matrix the following processes happen:
        -Each pyruvate oxidizes and combines with Coenzyme A
        -Acetyl CoA is formed
        -By products NADH and CO2 are also produced
