Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following molecules does not contain an attached phosphate?
A
pyruvate and glucose
B
PEP and glucose
C
PGAL and glucose
D
PEP and PGAL
E
DHAP and PGAL
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In a series of steps that produce one NADH and two ATP, a glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate molecule is converted into a pyruvate molecule.

Detailed explanation-2: -Explanation: The correct answer to this question is carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is not produced during glycolysis. Remember in glycolysis one glucose molecule yields 2 pyruvate, 2 ATP, and 2 NADH.

Detailed explanation-3: -FADH is not produced during glycolysis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Each glucose molecule generates two molecules of pyruvate; thus ATP gain is 6 moles per mole of glucose. Citric acid cycle.
