In glycolysis, the following forms as the byproduct:
High-Yield Explanation
Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that breaks down (catabolism) hexose (six-carbon) monosaccharides such as glucose, fructose, and galactose into two molecules of pyruvate, two molecules of ATP, two molecules of NADH, two water (H2O) molecules, and two hydrogen ions (H+).
