Question

How many NADH + $H^{+}$ molecules are formed if four glucose molecules enter glycolysis?

• A. 2
• B. 4
• C. 8
• D. 16

Answer 1

The correct option is C 8

The pathway of the breakdown of glucose into pyruvic acid is termed as glycolysis. This pathway is a step-wise process in which several molecules are released like 4 ATPs, 2 ADPs, water and 2 (NADH + $H^{+}$) when one glucose molecule undergoes glycolysis.
So if 4 glucose molecules undergo glycolysis, 8 (NADH + $H^{+}$) molecules are formed.
