What is the final product of glycolysis - pyruvic acid/ glucose/ malic acid/ phosphoglyceric/ Acetyl CoA/ Phosphoric acid.

Open in App

Solution

The end product of glycolysis is 2 molecules of pyruvate.
Glycolysis is the pathway in which 1 molecule of glucose is converted to 2 molecules of pyruvate through a series of steps. It takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell and can take place without oxygen. It is also called Embden Meyerhoff Parnas Pathway.
