Question
in addition to atp, what are the products of glycolysis?
co₂ and h₂o
co₂ and pyruvate
nadh and pyruvate
co₂ and nadh
h₂o, fadh₂, and trate
Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that breaks down glucose. One glucose molecule is converted into two pyruvate molecules. During this process, 2 NAD+ are reduced to 2 NADH (through the transfer of electrons and hydrogen ions). Also, a net gain of 2 ATP is produced (through substrate - level phosphorylation). CO₂ is not a product of glycolysis (it is produced in the citric acid cycle). H₂O is mainly a product of oxidative phosphorylation (when oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor), and FADH₂ is produced in the citric acid cycle.
