Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which is a product of glycolysis?
A
pyruvic acid
B
carbon dioxide
C
water
D
glucose
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The finished product of glycolysis is pyruvate. During this process, one molecule of glucose is converted into two molecules of pyruvate.

Detailed explanation-2: -Pyruvic acid can be made from glucose through glycolysis, converted back to carbohydrates (such as glucose) via gluconeogenesis, or to fatty acids through a reaction with acetyl-CoA. It can also be used to construct the amino acid alanine and can be converted into ethanol or lactic acid via fermentation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: The product of glycolysis is pyruvate. Pyruvate is a three-carbon compound formed in the final step of glycolysis where phosphoenolpyruvate is converted into pyruvate by the pyruvate kinase enzyme.

Detailed explanation-4: -two molecules of pyruvate, two molecules of ATP, and. two molecules of NADH.
