Which of the following is the end product of glycolysis?
A
acetyl CoA
B
oxaloacetic acid
C
pyruvate
D
citrate
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Pyruvic acid is the end product of glycolysis. Two molecules of pyruvic acid are generated by the partial oxidation of one glucose molecule.

Detailed explanation-2: -Metabolism of pyruvate results in the formation of acetyl coenzyme-A as the chief end product.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lactate is always the end product of glycolysis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Pyruvate is the end product of glycolysis, which is converted into acetyl coA that enters the Krebs cycle when there is sufficient oxygen available.

Detailed explanation-5: -At the end of glycolysis of one molecule of glucose, two molecules of ATP, NADH2, pyruvic acid and water are formed.
