Answer:

2 ATP Molecules

Step-by-step explanation:

Although four ATP molecules are produced in the second half, the net gain of glycolysis is only two ATP because two ATP molecules are used in the first half of glycolysis.

Hope this Helps!!

Glycolysis, the first process in cell respiration, produces four ATP, but it uses two of the ATP molecules, therefore producing a net two ATP molecules. The process also yields two molecules of NADH.Glycolysis begins with glucose and breaks it down into two molecules of phosphoglyceraldehyde.
