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: -Glycolysis is actually a series of ten chemical reactions that requires the input of two ATP molecules. This input is used to generate four new ATP molecules, which means that glycolysis results in a net gain of two ATPs.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: Starting with one molecule of glucose, glycolysis results in the net production of 2 NADH, 2 pyruvate, and 2 ATP (answer choice B). The products of glycolysis are then shuttled into the citric acid cycle.
