The correct order of glycolysis reactions is:

  • Two phosphate groups from two ATP molecules are joined to glucose.
  • Two NADP molecules are converted into two NADH molecules.
  • A six-carbon molecule is broken down into two three-carbon molecules.
  • Two three-carbon molecules are converted into two molecules of pyruvate as four  molecules of ATP are produced.

During glycolysis, the glucose molecule is converted to Glucose-6-phosphate as a result of phosphorylation. The phosphate group from ATP is joined to the glucose molecule by an enzyme known as hexokinase.

The glucose-6-phosphate then undergoes isomerization to become fructose-6-phosphate which is then phosphorylated again by the hexokinase enzyme to become fructose-1,6-biphosphate.

An aldolase enzyme converts fructose-1,6-biphosphate to one molecule of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and one molecule of dihydroxyacetone phosphate. The latter is then converted to another molecule of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate.

A dehydrogenase enzyme converts glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate to 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate with NADH being generated from the reduction of NAD+.

A kinase enzyme then converts 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate to 3-phosphoglycerate with ATP being generated from ADP. A mutase enzyme quickly converts the 3-phosphoglycerate to 2-phosphoglycerate while an enolase enzyme converts the latter to phosphoenolpyruvate.

Finally, a pyruvate kinase enzyme converts phosphoenolpyruvate to pyruvate with another ATP being generated.
