Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Four of the five answers listed below are compounds in the glycolytic reactions. Select the exception
A
Fructose-1, 6-Phosphate
B
3-Phosphoglycerate
C
Pyruvate
D
Phosphoenol pyruvate
E
isocitrate
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Glycolysis is the process by which glucose is broken down within the cytoplasm of a cell to form pyruvate. Under aerobic conditions, pyruvate can diffuse into mitochondria, where it enters the citric acid cycle and generates reducing equivalents in the form of NADH and FADH2.

Detailed explanation-2: -During glycolysis process, 2 ATP molecules and 2 NADH molecules are produced. FADH is not produced during glycolysis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cellular respiration is a metabolic pathway that breaks down glucose and produces ATP. The stages of cellular respiration include glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, the citric acid or Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
