Yes! You are correct.
- Step 7 produces two ATPs.
- Step 9 produces two ATPs.
- Step 6 two NADHs are created, but each of these is later used to make two ATPs, so the two NADHs eventually make four ATPs.
- Steps 1 and 3 each use an ATP so two are lost from the total.
In summary, 8 ATPs will be produced, but 2 are used up. Overall, glycolysis yields 6 ATPs. |
