• B. Ethanol
• C. Pyruvate
• D. Amino acid

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Pyruvate

Explanation for correct answer:-

Option (C) Pyruvate:

• Glycosis a process by which glucose(6C compound) is split into two molecules of pyruvic acid(3C compound).
• This process is also called the EMP pathway and occurs in the cytoplasm.
• In this process $4\mathrm{ATP}$(Adenosine triphosphate) and $2{\mathrm{NADH}}_2$(Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) are formed and $2\mathrm{ATP}$are consumed in the hexose phase.

• Hence it is the correct option.

Therefore, In glycolysis, glucose molecule is converted into option (C) Pyruvate
