GLYCOLYSIS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What are the products of glycolysis?
A
2 ATP, 2 NADPH, 2 pyruvate
B
2 ADP, 2 NADH, 2 pyruvate
C
2 ATP, 2 NADH, 2 pyruvate
D
2 ADP, 2 NADPH, 2 pyruvate
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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). The hydroxyl groups allow for phosphorylation. The specific form of glucose used in glycolysis is glucose 6-phosphate.

Detailed explanation-2: -1: Glycolysis produces 2 ATP, 2 NADH, and 2 pyruvate molecules: Glycolysis, or the aerobic catabolic breakdown of glucose, produces energy in the form of ATP, NADH, and pyruvate, which itself enters the citric acid cycle to produce more energy.

Detailed explanation-3: -The net products of (glycolysis) are 2 ATP, 2 NADH, and 2 pyruvic acid molecules. The Krebs cycle releases energy in the form of (ATP). (NADH and FADH2) carry electrons from the Krebs cycle to the electron transport chain.

Detailed explanation-4: -The products of glycolysis are Pyruvate, ATP, NADH (answer choice B). Glycolysis takes one molecule of glucose and breaks it down to produce 2 net molecules of ATP, 2 pyruvate molecules and 2 NADH molecules.

Detailed explanation-5: -The final product of glycolysis is pyruvate in aerobic settings and lactate in anaerobic conditions. Pyruvate enters the Krebs cycle for further energy production.
