Question

During glycolysis one molecule of glucose produces two molecules of _____ (a) Acetyl Co-A (b) Pyruvic acid (c) Acetaldehyde (d) Malic acid.

Answer 1

I think its (b) pyruvic acid

Answer 2

"Pyruvic acid.

Reason:

The process of splitting of sugar (Glucose) through series of step is called as Glycolysis. It was discovered by Embden, Meyerhof, and Paranas. Hence, it is also called as ENP pathway. It occurs in both aerobic as well as anaerobic respiration.

   The complete oxidation of ""one molecule of glucose"" yields ""2 molecules of Pyruvic acid"". The overall summation of Glycolysis is:

""Glucose"" → 2 ""Pyruvi acid"" + 2 ""NADH"" + 2 ""ATP"""
