1. how it is possible that the initial reactant in glycolysis (glucose) has six carbons, but

the product (pyruvate) has three carbons?

 

Answer:

Glycolysis consists of ten steps divided into two distinct halves. The first half of the glycolysis is also known as the energy-requiring steps. This pathway traps the glucose molecule in the cell and uses energy to modify it so that the six-carbon sugar molecule can be split evenly into the two three-carbon molecules.
