Answer:

Glycolysis.

Step-by-step explanation:

LOOK AT FIGURE BELOW

glycolysis, (first phase of cellular respiration) takes a glucose molecule through a series of redox reactions, taking some of the potential energy of that glucose and transferring it into ATP and NADH.

though, at the end of glycolysis, most of the energy of the glucose molecule is still stored in 2 3-carbon molecules known as pyruvate which have the chemical formula
C_3H_3O_3
