In glycolysis, glucose will be converted in to the following final product ____ ?
|
|
citrate (citric acid)
|
|
|
oxaloacetate (oxaloacetic acid)
|
|
|
pyruvate (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: -Pyruvic acid is a water-soluble, organic liquid that is produced by breaking down carbohydrates and sugars through the glycolytic pathway (glycolysis). If oxygen is available, pyruvic acid is converted to acetyl coenzyme A that enters the energy-producing pathway, the Krebs cycle.
