Glycolysis-an overview (cont.)

Here is the payoff phase of glycolysis.  Here is where ATP (the ultimate goal of metabolism) and NADH (the almost ultimate goal of metabolism) production begins.  ATP is primarily made in the electron transport chain, and NADH fuels the ETC.  Remember that with each oxidation reaction (the dehydrogenase reactions...) we harvest a little bit more of the energy found in a glucose molecule.

Here's the link for the payoff phase of glycolysis (steps 6-10):  THE PAYOFF PHASE
