Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Glycolysis results in the total production of:
A
2 ATP
B
4 ATP
C
4 NADH
D
2 Acetyl CoA
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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. The specific form of glucose used in glycolysis is glucose 6-phosphate.

Detailed explanation-2: -Summary. The first stage of cellular respiration is glycolysis. It does not require oxygen. During glycolysis, one glucose molecule is split into two pyruvate molecules, using 2 ATP while producing 4 ATP and 2 NADH molecules.

Detailed explanation-3: -Glycolysis produces only two net molecules of ATP per 1 molecule of glucose.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glycolysis produces in the cytosol by substrate level of phosphorylation.
