Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What are the end products of Glycolysis?
A
2 ATP, 2 NADH, 2 Pyruvate
B
4 ATP, 2 NADH, 1 Pyruvate
C
2 ATP, 1 NADH, 2 Pyruvate
D
4 ATP, 2 FADH2, 2 Pyruvate
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).

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lactate is always the end product of glycolysis.

Detailed explanation-4: -The final output or end product of Glycolysis is two molecules of pyruvate, ATP, NADH, and water.

Detailed explanation-5: -Hence, the end products are pyruvate, 2 ATP and 2 NADH.
