Question

Pick the odd one out with respect to molecules liberated during glycolysis:

• A. NADH + H${}^{+}$
• B. ATP
• C. $H_{2}O$
• D. $C{O}_2$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $C{O}_2$

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 the reactant intermediates undergo reaction.

Carbon dioxide is not released during glycolysis, but is liberated in the Krebs cycle.
