Description: This animation focuses on one molecule of glucose turning into pyruvate then into lactic acid. In the process there is one 6 carbon glucose molecule and 2 NAD+ molecules. 2 phosphates attach to the ends of the glucose molecule, splitting the glucose molecule into 2 pyruvate molecules. The NAD+ molecules add another phosphate onto the open ends of the 2 pyruvate molecules, turning the 2 NAD+ into 2 NADP. Then ADP comes and takes the phosphates, creating 2 ATP molecules.The pyruvate is turned into 2 lactate molecules.The process then repeats, starting with another glucose molecule. 2 phosphates attach to the ends of the glucose molecule, splitting the glucose molecule into 2 pyruvate molecules.
