That's it. You've done it. You have split glucose in two, balanced oxidation with reduction and you have made two moles of ATP per mole of glucose. The final step recycled the oxidising agent used earlier on.

Now would be a good time to review the steps of glycolysis in the complementary resource Step by Step Glycolysis

Two ATP spent and four manufactured. Redox balanced again.
