Question

Glycolysis gives rise to

• A. 8 ATP, 2 NADH${}_2$, 2 Pyruvate.
• B. 2 ATP, 2 Co-A, 2 NADH${}_2$.
• C. 2 ATP, 2 NADH${}_2$, 2 Pyruvate.
• D. 2 ATP, 2 acetate, 2 NADPH${}_2$.

Answer 1

The correct option is C 2 ATP, 2 NADH${}_2$, 2 Pyruvate.

In glycolysis, glucose undergoes partial oxidation to form two molecules of pyruvate or pyruvic acid and release 2 ATP and NADH${}_2$ which undergoes oxidation-reduction to release energy.

So the correct option is '2 ATP, 2 NADH${}_2$, 2 Pyruvate.'
