Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What are two of the products of glycolysis?
A
2 pyruvate and 4 net ATP
B
2 triose phosphate and 2 net ATP
C
2 NADH and 4 net ATP
D
2 NADH and 2 net 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: -What are the net products of glycolysis? Explanation: Glycolysis creates ATP and NADH through substrate level phosphorylation. The net products are 2 ATP, 2 NADH, and 2 pyruvate molecules.

Detailed explanation-3: -Glycolysis: Glucose is split into two molecules called pyruvate and 2 ATP molecules are generate per molecule of glucose as well as 2 molecules of NADH. Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell and does not require oxygen.

Detailed explanation-4: -NADH produces the following amount of ATP: Glycolysis: By oxidative phosphorylation, 2 NADH generates 6 ATP. Reaction to Transition: 2 NADH generates 6 ATP.
