Fig. 8: Glycolysis, Step 5

As each of the two molecules of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate are oxidized, the energy released is used to add an inorganic phosphate group to form two molecules of 1,3-biphosphoglycerate, each containing a high-energy phosphate bond. During these oxidations, two molecules of NAD+ are reduced to form two NADH + 2H+.
