Glycolysis occur - cytoplasm and - glucose is reactant and 2ATP and 2NADH is product.
Where glucose convert into pyruvate by undergoing series of reactions with the help of enzymes and they occur in every cell in cytoplasm.During this process they produce 2 ATP and two NADH molecules.
Pyruvate oxidation- mitochondrial matrix- pyruvate( reactant )to 2NADH( product).
Where pyruvate formed in the glycolysis enters into mitochondria for Krebs cycle to start kerbs cycle pyruvate should convert into acetyl coA by enzymes and thy start TCA cycle by oxidation during these process the byproduct is trelease one molecule of carbondioxide for each pyruvate molecule.
TCA cycle- matrix of mitochondria - reactant (acetyl coA) product(ATP,FADH,NADH,CO2,GTP).
Where acetyl coA undergoing series of reactions produce 6NADH,2FADH,2GTP,4 CO2 which later goes to electron transport chain.
ETC - inner membrane of mitochondria- reactant ( NADH,FADH)- products (ATP molecules).
Where electron transport chain reduces NADH ,FADH2to NAD+ and FAD+ to form 2.5 ATP from.one NADH and 1.5 for FADH2 so that total of 32 ATP and water molecules are formed.
