A
Pyruvate, ATP, and NADH
B
Lactate, ATP, and NADH
C

D
Acetyl-CoA, ATP, and NADH
Verified step by step guidance
1
Understand that glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that converts glucose into pyruvate, generating energy in the form of ATP and reducing power in the form of NADH.
Recall that glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell and is the first step in cellular respiration.
Identify the main products of glycolysis: two molecules of pyruvate, two molecules of ATP (net gain), and two molecules of NADH.
Consider the options given: Pyruvate, ATP, and NADH; Lactate, ATP, and NADH; Glucose, ATP, and NADH; Acetyl-CoA, ATP, and NADH.
Recognize that the correct end products of glycolysis are Pyruvate, ATP, and NADH, as lactate is produced in anaerobic conditions, glucose is the starting molecule, and Acetyl-CoA is a product of pyruvate oxidation, not glycolysis.
