Which of the following is NOT an OUTPUT for glycolysis?
|
|
ATP
|
|
|
NADH
|
|
|
pyruvic acid
|
|
|
carbon dioxide
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The output of glycolysis is four ATP molecules, two molecules of NADH, and two molecules of pyruvate. The four ATP molecules are generated by substrate-level phosphorylation, which is the transfer of a phosphate group from a substrate molecule to ADP.
Detailed explanation-2: -Respiration proceeds in two stages. First stage is glycolysis, during which one molecule of hexose glucose is converted to two molecules of pyruvic acid. No oxygen is consumed nor any carbon dioxide is released during glycolysis.
Detailed explanation-3: -Overall, glycolysis converts one six-carbon molecule of glucose into two three-carbon molecules of pyruvate.
