In glycolysis of cellular respiration, the pyruvate amounts to c^3h^4o^3. The amount for carbon and oxygen make sense as there are two pyruvates and together they amount to 6 carbons and 6 oxygens (the amount glucose has), but the amount of hydrogens don't add up. There are 8 in total (from both pyruvates) and 2 going to NADPH, but that amounts to 10 hydrogens, not 12. Are the other two hydrogens used during glycolysis elsewhere? Are they released in a different form? Am I missing something?
