Question

How many NADH2, molecules are formed in cytoplasm when a glucose molecule is completely oxidised?
1).2
2).6
3).3
4).1​

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 2

Explanation:

The process in which glucose is completely oxidized is glycolysis. In this process one molecule of glucose is converted into 2 molecules of pyruvic acid or pyruvate molecules under anaerobic condition.

END PRODUCTS OF GLYCOLYSIS INCLUDE-

• 4 ATP molecules ( out of which 2 ATP molecules are utilized during the reaction)
• 2 Pyruvic Acid molecules
• 2 NADH molecules

Answer 2

(1) 2NADH2, molecules are formed in cytoplasm when a glucose molecule is completely oxidised

Explanation:

1.Glycolysis is a metabolic process in which one glucose molecule is converted into 2 puruvate molecules under aerobic condition. The end products of glycolysis are 4 ATP molecules, out of which 2 ATP molecules are utilized, 2 pyruvic acid molecules and 2 NADH molecules.

2.Glycolysis is the process of breaking down glucose. Glycolysis can take place with or without oxygen.

3. Glycolysis produces two molecules of pyruvate, two molecules of ATP, two molecules of NADH, and two molecules of water. Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm
