Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is the end product of glycolysis?
A
acetyl CoA
B
oxaloacetic acid
C
pyruvate
D
citrate
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Pyruvic acid is the end product of glycolysis. Two molecules of pyruvic acid are generated by the partial oxidation of one glucose molecule.

Detailed explanation-2: -The final output or end product of Glycolysis is two molecules of pyruvate, ATP, NADH, and water.

Detailed explanation-3: -Glycolysis is the process by which glucose is broken down within the cytoplasm of a cell to form pyruvate. Under aerobic conditions, pyruvate can diffuse into mitochondria, where it enters the citric acid cycle and generates reducing equivalents in the form of NADH and FADH2.

Detailed explanation-4: -(i) End product of glycolysis : Glucose +2ADP+2+2NAD→ 2 Pyruvic acid + 2 ATP + 2NADH2. (ii) Glycolysis occurs in cytoplasm outside the mitochondria.

Detailed explanation-5: -Pyruvate is the end product of a biochemical pathway called glycolysis, a series of reactions that converts one molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate. Pyruvate then undergoes pyruvate oxidation to produce acetyl CoA, an intermediate in the Krebs cycle.
