Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The NET result of a single glycolysis run is
A
1 NADH and 1 ATP
B
2 NADH and 2 ATP
C
2 NADH and 4 ATP
D
4 NADH and 2 ATP
E
4 NADH and 4 ATP
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: -NADH produces the following amount of ATP: Glycolysis: By oxidative phosphorylation, 2 NADH generates 6 ATP. Reaction to Transition: 2 NADH generates 6 ATP.

Detailed explanation-3: -Glycolysis: It is the process of breaking down glucose to create energy. Glycolysis generates 2 ATP and 2 NADH, for a total of 8 ATP molecules.
