List the products of glycolysis? how many atp molecules are produced and consumed by glycolysis? what effect does the presence of oxygen have on the events that follow glycolysis?

In Glycolysis, each molecule of glucose yields 2 molecules of pyruvate, 2  molecules of NADH, and a net of 2 molecules of ATP.

Energy in the form of ATP (adenosine tri-phosphate). Glycolysis takes 1 molecule of glucose and turns it into energy body can use.

Glycolysis is not dependent on Oxygen so oxygen concentrations don't effect glycolysis.

In Glycolysis, each molecule of glucose yields 2 molecules of pyruvate, 2 molecules of NADH, and a net of two molecules of ATP. Energy within the style of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). Glycolysis takes 1 molecule of glucose and turns it into an energy body that may use. Glycolysis isn't keen about oxygen so oxygen concentrations don't affect glycolysis. Further Explanation

Glycolysis comes from the words glucose and lysis (breakdown), which is a series of biochemical reactions in which glucose is oxidized to pyruvic acid molecules. Glycolysis is one of the most universal metabolic processes that we are familiar with and occurs (with variations) in many cell types in almost all forms of organisms. The process of glycolysis itself produces less energy per glucose molecule compared to perfect aerobic oxidation. The energy produced is stored in organic compounds in the form of adenosine triphosphate or more commonly known as ATP and NADH.

First, glucose is converted into glucose 6-phosphate with the help of the hexokinase enzyme. At this stage requires ATP or adenosine triphosphate which can release energy to be converted into ADP. Then, glucose 6-phosphate is converted to fructose 6-phosphate which will be catalyzed by the enzyme phosphohexose isomerase. In the third stage, fructose 6-phosphate is converted to fructose 1,6-bisphosphate, in this reaction, it will be catalyzed by the enzyme phosphofructokinase and requires energy in the form of ATP. Furthermore, 1,6-bisphosphate which has 6 C atoms is broken down into 3-phosphate glyceraldehyde which has 3 C atoms and dihydroxyl acetone phosphate (3 C atoms) in which the reaction process is catalyzed by the aldolase enzyme. In one molecule the dihydroxyl acetone phosphate formed is then converted into glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate with the help of the enzyme triose phosphate isomerase. Which is the enzyme works back and forth? That means that it can convert glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate to dihydroxyl acetone phosphate. Glycerildehid 3-phosphate is then converted to 1.3 bisphosphoglycerate with the help of the enzyme glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase. In this process, NADH was formed. Then 1.3 bisphosphoglycerate is converted to 3-phosphoglycerate with the help of the enzyme phosphoglycerate kinase. The energy released in this reaction is in the form of ATP. Furthermore, the 3-phosphoglycerate is converted to 2-phosphoglycerate with the help of the enzyme phosphoglycerate mutase. The 2-phosphoglycerate is then converted into phosphoenolpyruvate with the help of the enzyme enolase. The resulting pyruvate phosphoenol is then converted into pyruvate which will be catalyzed by the enzyme pyruvate kinase. In this stage, ATP was also produced.
