Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What of the following is NOT a product of glycolysis?
A
Glucose
B
Pyruvic acid
C
ATP
D
NAD+
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: -The only step given that is not part of glycolysis is the transfer of electrons from carrier molecules to oxygen via a series of steps.
