Solution

The correct option is C A – Pyruvic acid, B- Carbon dioxide and water, C- Ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide, D – Lactic acid
The product of glycolysis is A. Pyruvic acid, the pyruvate formed enters the Kreb's cycle in aerobic respiration and the products of Kreb’s cycle are 2 ATP's, 6 NADH's, 2FADH's. In the absence of oxygen, the glycolytic product pyruvate enters the anaerobic pathway, it then undergoes fermentation to form ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide. Therefore C. is Ethyl alcohol and is D. Carbon dioxide.
