During the process of glycolysis 1 mole of glucose yields 2 pyruvic acid. In the process 2 ATPs molecules are used up and 4 other ATP molecules are produced by substrate level phosphorylation and 2 NADH are also produced. Therefore; for six moles of glucose; 12 ATP molecules will be used up, 24 ATP molecules will be generated, 12 moles of NADH will be used and 12 moles of pyruvate are made.
