Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is NOT a product of glycolysis?
A
NADH
B
pyruvic acid
C
ATP
D
glucose
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that converts glucose into pyruvate. During glycolysis process, 2 ATP molecules and 2 NADH molecules are produced. FADH is not produced during glycolysis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Correct answer: Carbon dioxide is not produced during glycolysis. Remember in glycolysis one glucose molecule yields 2 pyruvate, 2 ATP, and 2 NADH.

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: -Understanding Glycolysis : Example Question #10 Explanation: Per glucose only is generated in substrate level phosphorylation in glycolysis. Additionally only is produces per glucose in glycolysis. However the 2 pyruvate that are produced by glycolysis make and (along with ) during the citric acid cycle.

Detailed explanation-5: -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).
