Question

In glycolysis, glucose molecule is converted into which substance?

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

Answer 1

The correct option is C Pyruvate

The process by which the glucose (6C compound) is split into two molecules of pyruvic acid (3C compound) is called glycolysis or EMP pathway. It occurs in the cytoplasm. In glycolysis, 4ATP and 2NADH${}_2$ molecules are formed and 2ATP molecules are consumed in hexose phase

So, the correct answer is 'Pyruvate'
