Question

In glycolysis, the end product is

• A. Protein is converted into glucose
• B. Glucose is converted into glycogen
• C. Starch is converted into glucose
• D. Glucose is converted into pyruvic acid

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Glucose is converted into pyruvic acid

Glycolysis is a multi-step process by which one molecule of glucose breakdown into a molecule of pyruvic acid. Glucose is a six-carbon sugar and pyruvic acid is a three-carbon molecule. This is a common pathway in aerobic and anaerobic respiration and it takes place in the cytoplasm.

So, the correct option is 'Glucose is converted into pyruvic acid'
