GLYCOLYSIS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following products is not created by glycolysis?
A
Pryuvate
B
ATP
C
Lactic Acid
D
NADH
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: -The reference sources assert that glycolysis produces pyruvic acid (i.e., pyruvate and protons), and that under anaerobic conditions, glycolysis produces lactic acid.

Detailed explanation-3: -Glycolysis starts with one molecule of glucose and ends with two pyruvate (pyruvic acid) molecules, a total of four ATP molecules, and two molecules of NADH.

Detailed explanation-4: -Explanation: The product of glycolysis is ATP, and each cycle gives a net of two ATP, thus if there were already high levels of ATP in the body, glycolysis would not have to occur as frequently since the body’s energy demands are already being met.

Detailed explanation-5: -Glycolysis is the process of breaking down glucose. Glycolysis can take place with or without oxygen. Glycolysis produces two molecules of pyruvate, two molecules of ATP, two molecules of NADH, and two molecules of water.
