Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Glycolysis results in the total production of:
A
2 ATP
B
4 ATP
C
4 NADH
D
2 Acetyl CoA
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -One glucose molecule yields four ATP molecules in total during glycolysis. Since 2 ATP molecules are used up in the first phase of glycolysis, there is a net gain of 2 ATP molecules. In addition, glycolysis results in the production of 2 NADH molecules.

Detailed explanation-2: -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: -Glycolysis starts with one molecule of glucose and ends with two pyruvate (pyruvic acid) molecules, a total of four ATP molecules, and two molecules of NADH.
