What are the main products of glycolysis?
A
Pyruvate, ATP, and NADH

D
Acetyl-CoA, CO2, and FADH2
Verified step by step guidance
1
Understand that glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that converts glucose into pyruvate, releasing energy in the form of ATP and reducing NAD+ to NADH.
Identify the main products of glycolysis: Pyruvate, ATP, and NADH. These are generated through a series of enzymatic reactions starting from glucose.
Recognize that lactate, ATP, and NADPH are not products of glycolysis. Lactate is produced during anaerobic respiration, and NADPH is involved in other pathways like the pentose phosphate pathway.
Note that glucose, ADP, and NAD+ are substrates or reactants in glycolysis, not products. Glycolysis begins with glucose and uses ADP and NAD+ to produce ATP and NADH.
Understand that Acetyl-CoA, CO2, and FADH2 are products of other metabolic processes such as the citric acid cycle, not glycolysis.
