Question

What are the products of cleavage in glycolysis?

Answer 1

Glycolysis breaks down glucose, in reactions producing pyruvic acid (pyruvate), adenosine triphosphate (ATP),  nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), hydrogen ions (H+), and water (H2O).

Answer 2

Hey dear,

● Answer -
Cleavage of 1 molecule of glucose in glycolysis yields 2 pyruvate, 2 NADH & 2 ATP.

◆ Explanation -
- Glycolysis is the first step in the breakdown of glucose to extract energy for cellular metabolism.
- Glycolysis converts glucose into pyruvate in 10 steps.
- Glycolysis is an anaerobic process & takes place in cytoplasm itself.
- Glucose, fructose or other sugars are involved as reactants in this process.
- Products formed are 2 pyruvate, 2 NADH & 2 ATP.

Hope this helps you. Thanks for asking..
