Question

energy from glycolysis
among the products of glycolysis,
which compounds contain energy that
can be used by other biological
reactions?
pyruvate, atp, and nadh
atp only
nadh only
pyruvate and atp only
o₂ only
atp and nadh only
co₂ only

Explanation:

Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that converts glucose into pyruvate. During glycolysis, ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is produced through substrate - level phosphorylation, which can directly provide energy for other biological reactions. NADH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide + hydrogen) is also generated. NADH can later donate electrons in the electron - transport chain (in aerobic conditions) to produce more ATP. Pyruvate can enter other metabolic pathways (such as the citric acid cycle in aerobic conditions) where its chemical energy can be further harnessed.

Answer:

pyruvate, ATP, and NADH
