Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Glycolysis splits glucose into 2 molecules of
A
Acetyl CoA
B
pyruvate
C
citric acid
D
fructokinase
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). The hydroxyl groups allow for phosphorylation. The specific form of glucose used in glycolysis is glucose 6-phosphate.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glycolysis is a series of reactions that extract energy from glucose by splitting it into two three-carbon molecules called pyruvates.

Detailed explanation-3: -Enzymes split a molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate. This releases energy, which is transferred to ATP. During this stage, high-energy electrons are also transferred to molecules of NADH. NADH is used in stage III to make more ATP.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
