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 CO₂ and water. Therefore B. is carbon dioxide and water. In the absence of oxygen the glycolytic product pyruvate enters the anaerobic pathway, it then undergoes fermentation to form either ethylalcohol or lactic acid. Formation of ethylalcohol is accompanied by formation of carbon dioxide. Therefore C. is ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide and D. is lactic acid.
