In glycolysis, glucose is converted into two molecules of ____
|
|
citric acid
|
|
|
oxaloacetic acid
|
|
|
pyruvic acid
|
|
|
Acetyl CoA
|
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: -In glycolysis, one molecule of glucose (C6H12O6) forms two molecules of pyruvic acid (CH3COCOOH).
