How does deodexing work?

As far as I understand, odexed apps come in two: the "apk" and the "odex" files, both containing different information. And I understand that the odex file has crucial information that loads first and speeds up the booting process. But I tried to deodex an odexed app with UltimateDeodexer, and it only asked me to upload the .odex file, giving me in return an .apk file. Seemed like it turned the `.odex into
.apk
`. How does that work?? Is it missing all the information from the original .apk file? Is my resulting .apk file complete, or am I supposed to do something else afterwards?
