Detailed explanation-1: -What is the main transformation that occurs during glycolysis? Glycolysis produces ATP, pyruvate, and NADH by oxidizing glucose.
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). The hydroxyl groups allow for phosphorylation. The specific form of glucose used in glycolysis is glucose 6-phosphate.
Detailed explanation-3: -Under aerobic conditions, pyruvate can diffuse into mitochondria, where it enters the citric acid cycle and generates reducing equivalents in the form of NADH and FADH2. These reducing equivalents then enter the electron transport chain, leading to the production of 32 ATP per molecule of glucose.
Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: 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: -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.
