Explanation:

Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that breaks down glucose. In this process, glucose is oxidized to produce 2 pyruvic acid molecules, 2 net - ATP (4 ATP produced but 2 consumed) and 2 NADH. It does not involve oxidizing water or reducing glucose to produce CO₂.

Answer:

Glycolysis produces pyruvate, ATP, and NADH by oxidizing glucose.
