The Anaerobic Process Of Splitting Glucose And Forming Two Molecules Of Pyruvic Acid. Glucose (6 carbon atoms) is split into 2 molecules of pyruvic acid (3 carbons each).this produces 2 atp and 2 nadh. During anaerobic glycolysis there is a production of only 2 atp per glucose, opposed to the production of 2atp + 2nadh + pyruvate (3c) per glucose in aerobic conditions.

Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm. Glucose (6 carbon atoms) is split into 2 molecules of pyruvic acid (3 carbons each).this produces 2 atp and 2 nadh. During anaerobic glycolysis there is a production of only 2 atp per glucose, opposed to the production of 2atp + 2nadh + pyruvate (3c) per glucose in aerobic conditions.
