Oxidation of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate

G3P is oxidized. NAD+ picks up electrons to become NADH, and a phosphate is added to form a high-energy acyl-phosphate.

First ATP-generating step

1,3-Bisphosphoglycerate gives a phosphate to ADP and makes ATP. Across both three-carbon halves, this repays the two ATP invested.
