During glycolysis, no carbon atoms are lost in the form of carbon dioxide. Glycolysis is the process that converts one molecule of glucose, which contains six carbon atoms, into two molecules of pyruvate, each containing three carbon atoms. This process does not produce carbon dioxide; carbon dioxide is produced in subsequent metabolic pathways, such as the citric acid cycle.
