Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is NOT produced during glycolysis?
A
Oxygen
B
NADH
C
ATP
D
Pyruvate
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 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: -Glycolysis is a process that produces energy without the presence of oxygen.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: The correct answer is C) 2 pyruvate. In the presence of oxygen, the process of glycolysis produces 2 molecules of pyruvate, 2 molecules of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), and 2 molecules of NADH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide hydrogen). Glycolysis is a process that is independent of oxygen.

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). The hydroxyl groups allow for phosphorylation.
