Question

Name the final compound and its total number of carbon atoms in Glycolysis of respiration
(1) Phosphoglyceric acid-3C
(2) Oxaloacetic acid -4C
(3) Pyruvic acid-3C
(4) Malic acid – 4C

Answer 1

During glycolysis, glucose (C6) is broken down to two molecules of pyruvate (C3). (Note that compounds that end in "___ate" can be called "___ic acid". For example, lactate is lactic acid and malate is malic acid.) Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm (cytosol) and does not require oxygen.
