Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the main transformation that occurs during glycolysis?
A
Glycolysis produces pyruvate and ATP through by oxidizing glucose and NAD+.
B
Glycolysis produces ATP, pyruvate, and NADH by oxidizing glucose.
C
Glycolysis produces ATP through the process of oxidative phosphorylation.
D
Glycolysis produces CO2​, 2 NAD, and pyruvate by oxidizing glucose.
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: The second half of glycolysis: return on investment: The second half of glycolysis involves phosphorylation without ATP investment (step 6) and produces two NADH and four ATP molecules per glucose.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -During aerobic respiration, the NADH formed in glycolysis will be oxidized to reform NAD+ for use in glycolysis again. When oxygen is not present or if an organism is not able to undergo aerobic respiration, pyruvate will undergo a process called fermentation.
