Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What are the products of glycolysis?
A
2 ATP, 2 NADPH, 2 pyruvate
B
2 ADP, 2 NADH, 2 pyruvate
C
2 ATP, 2 NADH, 2 pyruvate
D
2 ADP, 2 NADPH, 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). The hydroxyl groups allow for phosphorylation. The specific form of glucose used in glycolysis is glucose 6-phosphate.

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: -The second phase of Glycolysis where 4 molecules of ATP are produced per molecule of glucose. Enzymes appear in red: D-Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate is phosphorolated at the 1 carbon by the enzyme Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehodrogenase to yield the high energy molecule 1, 3-Bisphosphoglycerate (BPG)

Detailed explanation-4: -Glycolysis produces two pyruvate molecules, four ATPs (a net of two ATP), two NADH, and two H2O. Therefore, without the presence of oxygen, glycolysis is the only process that can occur, and only two ATP molecules may be produced for each glucose molecule.

Detailed explanation-5: -Glycolysis is the process of breaking glucose into energy. It mainly produces four pyruvate molecules, two NADH molecules, and two ATP molecules.
