Question

End product of glycolysis are

• A. 2 ATP, 2 Pyruvic acid
• B. 2 ATP, 2 $F A D H_{2}$ , 2 Pyruvic acid
• C. 2 ATP, 2 $NADH+H^{+}$ , 2 Pyruvic acid
• D. 6 ATP, 2 $NADH+H^{+}$ , 2 Pyruvic acid

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Glycolysis is the process of breakdown of one molecule of glucose to form 2 molecules of pyruvic acid. During this process oxidation occurs by dehydrogenation, hydrogen thus released is accepted by NAD forming 2 $NADH+H^{+}$ .
