Question

glycolysis results in a net production of which of the following molecules from each molecule of glucose?

2 nad+, 2 pyruvate, and 2 atp

4 nadh, 2 pyruvate, and 4 atp

2 nadh, 2 pyruvate, and 2 atp

6 co2, 2 nadh, 2 pyruvate, and 2 atp

6 co2, 2 pyruvate, and 30 atp

Explanation:

Glycolysis is the first stage of cellular respiration. In glycolysis, one molecule of glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate. During the energy - payoff phase of glycolysis, 4 ATP are produced, but 2 ATP are consumed in the energy - investment phase, so the net ATP production is \(2\). Also, \(2\) \(NAD^{+}\) are reduced to \(2\) \(NADH\) during glycolysis.

Answer:

2 NADH, 2 pyruvate, and 2 ATP
