Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Besides 2 ATP, what else does glycolysis produce
A
glucose molecule
B
2 pyruvate molecules
C
oxygen
D
chloroplasts
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -1: Glycolysis produces 2 ATP, 2 NADH, and 2 pyruvate molecules: Glycolysis, or the aerobic catabolic breakdown of glucose, produces energy in the form of ATP, NADH, and pyruvate, which itself enters the citric acid cycle to produce more energy.

Detailed explanation-2: -Results of Glycolysis Energy is needed at the start of glycolysis to split the glucose molecule into two pyruvate molecules. These two molecules go on to stage II of cellular respiration.

Detailed explanation-3: -2 molecules of ATP are utilised in the glycolysis. One molecule of ATP is utilised when glucose is converted to glucose-6-phosphate and the other is utilised when fructose-6-phosphate is converted to fructose-1, 6-bisphosphate. So, the net gain of ATP molecules during glycolysis is 2.
