It seems there might be a typo or misunderstanding in your question. The term "psycholysis" isn't typically associated with the biochemical processes involving glucose. It seems you might be referring to "glycolysis," which is the metabolic pathway that breaks down glucose into smaller molecules.
In glycolysis, one molecule of glucose (which is a six-carbon sugar) is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate (which are three-carbon molecules). This process occurs in the cytoplasm of cells and involves several enzymatic steps.
Here's a summary of the process:
- Starting material: Glucose (C6H12O6)
- End products: Two molecules of pyruvate (C3H4O3), along with a net gain of two ATP molecules and two NADH molecules.
If this is not what you meant, please clarify your question!
