What are the products of glycolysis?
|
|
2 Pyruvate
|
|
|
2 ATP
|
|
|
CO2
|
|
|
2 NADH
|
|
|
Water
|
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).
Detailed explanation-2: -In respiration oxygen and glucose are converted into water and carbon dioxide. Energy is produced in the form of ATP in this process. Water is the byproduct of the oxidation of carbohydrates. It is the metabolic water and is not used in the next steps of respiration.
Detailed explanation-3: -During glycolysis, dehydration occurs in the presence of enzyme enolase and cofactor Mg2+ . 2-phosphoglycerate loses a molecule of water and is changed into phosphoenol pyruvate (PEP).
