Question

How many NADH molecules are produced by glycolysis?

Answer 1

NADH molecules produced by glycolysis

1. Glycolysis is a metabolic process in which a single glucose molecule is converted into 2 pyruvate molecules under an aerobic state.
2. The final products of glycolysis are 4 ATP molecules, from which 2 ATP molecules, pyruvic acid molecules, and 2 NADH molecules are derived.
3. 2 NADH molecules are produced by glycolysis during cellular respiration.
4. Glucose breaks down into 2 pyruvate molecules at the end of glycolysis.
5. There is a residual advantage of 2 ATPs as well.
