Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What are the two molecules that glucose makes?
A
ADP
B
Pyruvate
C
Oxygen
D
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).

Detailed explanation-2: -Through the process of glycolysis, one molecule of glucose breaks down to form two molecules of pyruvate.

Detailed explanation-3: -Overall, glycolysis converts one six-carbon molecule of glucose into two three-carbon molecules of pyruvate.

Detailed explanation-4: -Two molecules of pyruvate are converted into two molecules of acetyl CoAstart text, C, o, A, end text. Two carbons are released as carbon dioxide-out of the six originally present in glucose.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
