Glycolysis Pathway Simplified Schematic of Ecosystem Respiration Phase Glucose (6-Carbon) Investment: 1 ATP Glucose 6-phosphate Fructose 6-phosphate Investment: 2nd ATP Fructose 1,6-bisphosphate Splits into two 3-Carbon Sugar Pathways G3P / PGAL (3-Carbon) 1,3-Bisphosphoglycerate G3P / PGAL (3-Carbon) 1,3-Bisphosphoglycerate Produces NADH & ATP Produces NADH & ATP Generates 2 ATP Generates 2 ATP Pyruvate (3-Carbon) Pyruvate (3-Carbon)

Based on the diagram, how many 3-carbon pyruvate molecules are ultimately produced from one molecule of glucose during glycolysis?
