Question
glycolysis: produces pyruvic acid. consumes a sugar. all of the above. results in the production of nadh. results in the production of atp.
Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that breaks down glucose (a sugar). One glucose molecule is converted into two pyruvic acid molecules. During this process, NADH is produced as a result of the oxidation of glyceraldehyde - 3 - phosphate. Also, a net gain of 2 ATP molecules occurs (4 ATP are produced in total, but 2 are consumed in the early steps of glycolysis). So, all the statements (produces pyruvic acid, consumes a sugar, results in the production of NADH, results in the production of ATP) are correct.
