Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Four of the five answers listed below are compounds in the glycolytic reactions. Select the exception
A
Fructose-1, 6-Phosphate
B
3-Phosphoglycerate
C
Pyruvate
D
Phosphoenol pyruvate
E
isocitrate
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During glycolysis process, 2 ATP molecules and 2 NADH molecules are produced. FADH is not produced during glycolysis.

Detailed explanation-2: -During glycolysis, glucose ultimately breaks down into pyruvate and energy; a total of 2 ATP is derived in the process (Glucose + 2 NAD+ + 2 ADP + 2 Pi–> 2 Pyruvate + 2 NADH + 2 H+ + 2 ATP + 2 H2O).

Detailed explanation-3: -The input involved in glycolysis is two ATP (Adenosine triphosphate), two NAD+ and one glucose. The output involved in glycolysis is four ATP, two NADH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide hydrogen) and two pyruvate molecules.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: The breakdown of the molecule of glucose in the presence of oxygen yields energy along with the carbon dioxide and water. Pyruvate and ATP are released during the process of glycolysis. However, carbon dioxide is not one of the products that is formed as a result of glycolysis.
