|
In glycolysis, glucose is converted to
|
|
CO2 and H2O.
|
|
|
Pyruvate
|
|
|
NAD+ and ADP
|
|
|
None of the above
|
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.
Detailed explanation-2: -In glycolysis, glucose is converted into pyruvate; in gluconeogenesis, pyruvate is converted into glucose.
Detailed explanation-3: -Glycolysis is a 10-step process in which 1 molecule of glucose is converted to 2 molecules of pyruvate. The average oxidation number of C in glucose ( C6H12O6 ) is 0 and +1 in pyruvate ( C3H3O3 ), so glucose is oxidized.
