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: -One glucose molecule yields four ATP molecules in total during glycolysis. Since 2 ATP molecules are used up in the first phase of glycolysis, there is a net gain of 2 ATP molecules. In addition, glycolysis results in the production of 2 NADH molecules.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glycolysis produces only two net molecules of ATP per 1 molecule of glucose.

Detailed explanation-3: -Glycolysis produces in the cytosol by substrate level of phosphorylation.
