well...here goes nothing.
first this is a video on cellular respiration done by kids in a AP Bio class in Vermont i think...

glycolysis not only breaks down glucose but can accept a wide range of molecules such as polysaccharides and other forms of 6C sugars(galactose and fructose). The diffrent molecules would then be changed and broken down into glucose, then the process is continued.
main facts about glycolysis
it breaks 6c glucose into 2 3C pyruvates
forms net of 2 atps
and 2 NADH
krebs cycle yields
1 atp
3NADH
and 1 FADH2
*remember numbers produce in krebs cycle is multiplied by 2 because there are TWO pyruvates each going through the cycle.
one glucose can produce 36-38 ATPs
