Major products of glycolysis include pyruvate, ATP, and NADH. Glycolysis is the process by which glucose is converted to two molecules of pyruvate.

Explanation:

Glycolysis occurs in nearly all living cell or organisms.

Glucose provide most of the energy used / produced by cells.

Glucose is the principal source and mainly used in glycolysis for production of energy for cellular metabolism

Products of glycolysis: glycolysis produces two molecules of pyruvate, net gain of two ATP (4-2) molecules, and two NADH molecules.

First half of glycolysis is known / called as preparatory phase. In preparatory phase two molecules of ATP are consumed, and the second half of glycolysis is pay-off phase, in which 4 molecules of ATP and 2 molecules of NADP are produced.
