Is pyruvate a product of glycolysis?

Open in App

Solution

Glycolysis:
It occurs in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes in the cytoplasm of the cell.
The finished product of glycolysis is pyruvate.
During this process, one molecule of glucose is converted into two molecules of pyruvate.
Pyruvate is thus a glycolysis product.
